Based solely on your posts, my impression is a that you are a high value and somewhat high maintenance customer
with a great ambassador that you utilize effectively. Since your reviews aren't accompanied by a "Maximize Your Purchase" section and credit card signup links, I place more value on your opinions than the reviews of many well-known bloggers. Although your needs and expectations are different from mine, I appreciate the thoroughness of your reviews and your willingness to answer questions.
