Oh, wow, you had me confused there for a second!
There's actually an area here in Melbourne called Flagstaff as well, and I thought I was going to have somewhere new to visit, hehe.

Our most prolific reviewer, Sean Trane, borrows albums from his public library.

It would be WAAAAAAY more than $20,000 for me.
In Australia, cds are insanely expensive compared to europe and the U.S.
Worse still, it's practically impossible to find good prog here anyway. So for most albums I buy, I end up paying for international shipping!
|
I know how you're feeling. 
Apart from having to pay for international postage, I usually end up waiting 10 days +  and Australia post has lost 3 of mine over the past month 
Also, the occasional prog CD's I do find in Australia are usually massively overpriced 
Marty, whenever I go to the front page I usually see some of yours. I think Snobb may have this one though; I nearly always see (and read) his reviews on the front page. Good quality and quantity

Certain people, who also reviews quite a lot and I know them well, do this: 1)inherited big stash of CD's
2)listen CD of friends
3)and simply buy the rest
I'm going to process the list (if I find the .mht files, to which I saved the main pages)

I wonder if I should add category: "most words", so these with 1000+ words would win. But I don't have a good mean how to measure it, how to count them.
Actually, I created this thread and went to bed, thinking that nobody will be interested, but let's do it now: My guess is Bonnek

^ I thought it was you, Marty  . Just kidding, man. Guess Bonnek is the right answer indeed. The guy has a pretty long holiday, doesn't he ? Or an easy, undemanding job

Hint: / = left column, so reviewer or collab
1-5 number as char means a review, number itself is how many stars certain reviewer gave I've used glitch in ASP showing of last "50" reviews (only that this time it wasn't 50, but about 500 instead), so purely accidentally, my review on Marillion was the last one (Jan 02), with the first one (Jan 08) showing Lumpy Gravy. Then, next day I waited till 8:30 and captured the rest that makes entire week. And here we are. This day (1) I'm lucky to be first. Other days I'm not. Some of you are here guys, I've just written down you, Henk (progrules). I have my periods (don't call me woman), or we can call them "bursts", as I write easily 10 reviews a day, using thoughts and ideas that accumulated in my head over time and then, easily, day or two nothing. I'm university man, so it takes its time too you know. First write these notes down here, then count it and update my first post, Oh Kay ?

So, to sum it up, this is not list of BEST reviewers, as I didn't find the mean how to count these words in effective way. And after all, long review doesn't mean good review.
So I'll not go for evaluating reviewers, this is dirty job. Good review can be short.
Bad review can be short.
Good review can be long.
Bad review can be long.
Good review can be of middle size.
Bad review can be of middle size.
As I see, fore-mentioned UMUR makes one very informative and long review per day. From what can I see, it's a good one. Interesting fact about this from this thread's point of view is his regularity.

No response prevented me from analyzing it more.
Shall I continue ?

When I hear word BALL, I'm always cautious.
OK Seventh S., no bad feelings, but lack of reply after adding actual valuable information, about which this thread should be, or more like lack of absolutely no reply at all left me hesitating about it all. Also I've switched from Win XP to Linux and back meanwhile, finished my first term on university, started new one (semester) and returned to reviewing. So, let's do it.

You've lost me with this quote.  I think this was maybe someone else talking about how they had neglected their own reviews. I appreciate your hard work and look forward to next set of results.

OK, enough of flattering, or my mind will be shattering (hope this makes rhyme in English, it looks like it should, or could ... or would ... ok, I put)

Sinkadotentree still manages to do about 2 per day, and he buys all his albums legally.

Which can't be said about a lot of people here, one of your statements. But this is not kind of discussion I want to go into. Sad thing is that majority of my collection I haven't bought. I was given instead, I inherited it :-) more or less, without giving person being dead. ON TOPIC - I plan to do some nice graphs, hope I'll have mood for it.

Who's the most prolific reviewer these days
I'll get back it though.
