Ah.  The problem is that all reviews I write go to Azrael.  It would 
undervalue my "product" if I then turned around and sold it to someone else.

Now, if I had reviews that I wrote that Azrael didn't want, then I'd 
consider that.  But so far they've been pretty good about that kind of 
thing.

That was what I was offering when I said I'd send him a copy. I usually want 
to get permission from folks before sending them big attachments, though.

I honestly am not sure how to find the more recent Azrael reviews that 
haven't gone to the back issue library yet.  I would probably look forward 
to it in the next "issue" near the end of the month (they typically updates 
on the 1st and 15th of the month).

It's sometimes hard to write a review without mentioning some type of 
"spoiler" material - after all, you're writing for GMs too. Still, looking 
back over my reviews I don't see anything that would have been specific 
enough to be considered a spoiler.
