A lot of Yrrah's posts include more than just links and somebody
else's copied text.  Yrrah often gives extra value by sharing his
"hands on" experience with the programs.  If he hasn't personally used
it, he's up front about disclosing that.  If he says a program gets
good reviews, he'll give you the link and let you judge for yourself. 
What I'm saying is that Yrrah and John Corliss and Susan and Craig and
CoMa and »Q« and dadiOH and ...... you get the idea, most of the
regular contributors (sometimes described as a cult) make solid
recommendations.  They don't just throw stuff against the wall to see
what sticks.  They post about what they know and when they *DON'T*
know, they'll *TELL* you they doon't know, as in "Haven't tried this
myself, but it might be close to what you're looking for."

That to me is useful information.
