Afa, that was wonderful, thank you.

It's not too hard to get accurate figures on posting. My husband programmed an Amazon Reviewer Analysis Tool (ARAT) for me a year or so ago and it's been disseminated fairly widely on the Amazon boards. And I'm sure that other bedroom programmers can and have done similar programs.

I know at least one person who is using ARAT to track several of the Top 20 via a nightly batch script and seeing when they delete-and-repost reviews to shake off negs votes. Reviewer watching is sort of like bird-watching, but from the comfort of your own home, it seems.
