It just proves that the incentive is not attractive enough. It is not effective. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it should be seen positively that the (regular) contributors send their reviews not because of the incentive but because they have this need to share a wonderful book that they just read. I know I am not alone in having this thought. L & LBH, do correct me if I'm wrong.<BR/><BR/>= = =<BR/><I>...we knew it wouldn't be easy to get readers to post comments.</I><BR/><BR/>Personally I guess the followings <I>might</I> prove to be rather discouraging.<BR/><BR/>Quoted from High Browse Online - comments section:<BR/><BR/><B>(If you haven't left a comment here before, you may need to be approved by the site owner before your comment will appear.

(Note: I know this does not happen la. I posted a few comments already there without any alteration by the site owner).<BR/><BR/>(c) - almost like the above "Why should I comment if it's not going to be posted at all?"<BR/><BR/>I personally find (d) adequate and good enough to protect NLB from any legal problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424038.post-1163719051927985612006-11-17T07:17:00.000+08:002006-11-17T07:17:00.000+08:00Can I share a point of view, since I graduated fro...Can I share a point of view, since I graduated from my first degree last December?<BR/><BR/>I noticed that everyone want to be part of the web development, even they are not technically training in.
