It seems to me, Pinecone, that the best resolution to the problem you have with Consumer Reports is for you simply to ignore it. For many of us, the advice that CR provides is helpful. I don't recall the last time I was able to personally test 5 different brands of dishwashers in my kitchen over an extended period of time or the last time I was able to test all of the major ereaders side by side in my home for a month.

It seems, Pinecone, that the problem is simply that CR doesn't agree with your analysis of [insert product here] and unlike you, I do not have faith it the review written by PorkyPig or any other anonymous online reviewer who happens to have Internet access and a keyboard. Unlike so many of the reviewers in whom you wish to place faith, CR doesn't hide behind anonymity and does layout how it conducts its tests sufficiently for my evaluation.

Anyway, Pinecone, as I said at the beginning, the problem is readily solved -- you ignore CR reviews and I will consider them. We'll both be happy with our ultimate purchase choices.
