SBR- I love you, but........

I find the following statement, for lack of a better word, silly.

"SBR lifts caution advisory to limit play to books rated B+ or higher, normal policy of B- and higher in effect."

Like I said, I trully love what you bring to the offshore industry as a whole but this to me is a strange statement.

Be nice.

I hope Buzz doesnt lie anymore about books being closed. I cant love him because of it...

It probably means that he doesn't know as much as he would like to about the finances of C+ books and lower.
Aren't the ratings based, in part, on how open the books are with financial info, customer funds, backup etc.?

hey fish blow me

You disagree with the man's statement on his website to play at legit books !

I disagree with your approach of shilling for shitbooks that end up stiffing posters and you edit me ?

**** you dude

My bad, he said "LIFTS ADVISORY".

It is a little hyper-technical I guess. Well its a slow day, what can I say?

Nothing more, you just explained it. As mentioned, enjoy most of all what you put forth at SBR. Tough to please everyone 100% of the time in this business. Impossible in fact.

I have to agree with Strut888. I have supported SBR as the most independent of the "watch dog" sites but recently I think that SBR has slipped with some dubious announcements. There have also been some interesting additions to the revenue, oops I mean recommended list.
My two biggest complaints are the listing of multiple books that operate under the same ownership and the Olympic/Oly issue. A truly independent site should be more concerned about the players well being than whether a site pays for a link. I also remember Ken's biggest knock against SBR was the lack of any real knowledge about the industry and that has shown recently. I hope that SBR can find a path that allows independent honest reporting and still make enough to support Buzzsaw's lifestyle

Good Luck to All

Show me a site with a better recommended list and a better avoid list that I can learn from

. I'm pretty comfortable with SBR's knowledge of the industry. The fact that no book on the SBR Recommended List has even gone in slow pay mode much less fail in the past couple of years speaks for itself. But I know not even results makes everyone happy. We will try do better
