Not arrogance Kalsta. A two-star review is pretty brutal, and potentially damaging to a developer. I just wanted to right a perceived wrong. If you had made your comments with a less negative star rating I would not have bothered.
I like the principle of careful comparative reviews, complete with links, but to publish a review with an arbitrary list of objections which did not apply to the version then current and to rate it on the basis of those, is not helpful to anyone. (Yes I know you tested it 6 months earlier and specified the version.)
You are right in noticing that a lot of my reviews are five star. The explanation for what it is worth, is that mostly I only bother to review stuff I really like. Perhaps I am too soft-hearted to slate the efforts of well-meaning but misguided developers. I wish that the VT star-system allowed for finer discrimination in fact.
Let's now draw this unconstructive dialogue to a close.
