[TenTec] eham centurion 0 review

[Simmons, Reid W]

I very rarely go to eHam since I have seen practically no value-add to that
site.  In the case of the subject Centurion review I had to go there and
read it for myself.  A rating of "0" is certainly way out of line and
without merit based on what I read.  I wouldn't even call N6VUJ's dribble a
review, it was more of a child-like whining session and the moderator of the
site acted correctly in moving it out of the review section.  Perhaps N6VUJ
has some "screws loose" of his own for which his parents perhaps should have
returned him to the "factory" and got their money back!

Reid, K7YX

I think a request to the reviews manager for a more detailed explanation for
this is in order before we jump to any conclusions or start saying things we
might later regret.

Hello David,

I agree 100%. He owned the amp, wrote an honest review, it should stay in
the reviews. Notice the amp now has a perfect record?

      I seriously doubt anyone at eham just read it and said "oh this isn't
a valid review, we'll have to move this". Not without some whiners helping!

      This kind of %^$#& reminds me of recent insider trading scandals--they
both stink.

73,
