Klausner! Aargh! Who is this maniac Harriet Klausner? She reminds one of those movie quote whores who invariably give positive and shallow reviews to absolutely everything they review. I found her so annoying that I came to dread seeing her posts (and then even seeing her name) in rec.mystery. And now she's despoiling amazon.com, spending untold hours doing cut-and-pastes of all her books reviews there -- for posterity? To boost her ego?

If I once was uncertain about the quality of citizen-reviews at amazon.com (and sites like epinions.com), those doubts are now gone; those reviews simply cannot be trusted.

(I should have retitled the Subject header as 'The Big Blowhard.')
