The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the April review. This review will be due by April 25, so please, only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Kent will make the final selection.

Note[/i]: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

Thanks again to Kent for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
