After careful examination of the topics submitted and past coverage of same, small appliances rated ***** (5 stars). It was apolitical, witty, filled with terrific fantasy fulfillment and had no religious overtones. In addition, it flows naturally into serious topics such as "GE---do they really bring good things to life?" On the other hand, Rambi feels that the entrapment of unwilling ratlings could be controversial and may be better suited for the PI thread thus she could only give it ***. However, so as not to discourage anyone from posting, even ratling slave owners, and because it is the first day of the thread, the first latitude * is awarded, bringing the total to ****, and making it quite acceptable. |
