User reviews
I haven't used it yet, but here is a 5-star review for your snarky comeback in response to that guy 10 months ago who gave you a 2-star rating because you didn't implement his request by the time he finished writing his review and chastised you for not reading his mind in advance. Thank you for your contributions! ;-)
