Well. A lot has happened since our last newsletter. It definitely has not been boring around EA.

The controversy regarding EBD and the Edit/Delete functionality seems to finally be over. Some residual tension remains regarding editors and top reviewers. However, Epinions is seldom without tension or controversy.

It seems that Epinions members are part of a statistical study. http://www.eaforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=6196 Imagine that. People have been saying for months that Epinions is nothing more than a psychological experiment designed to mess with our minds.

Tensions between the two primary Epinions boards seem to have eased after the uprising at Epinions. In fact, I received a lovely email from Viper1963, one of the moderators at the Nest, expressing his continuing affection for EA and some of its moderators. Thank you for your note of support Steve.

EA is running a new contest, and Epinions has graciously donated the second place prize! Check out the details at - http://www.eaforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=5983

Finally, don't forget our trivia contests in Chat! Amazon gift certificates are there to be earned. Come join us on Thursdays and Sundays!
