That did make me chuckle!
I do find TA useful...for one thing. Amateur pictures. They help to tell more of a story than anything written in the review. At least now you can go and see other reviews that someone has posted. So you can tell if someone who posted a 'WOWOW' review of a Four Seasons has only ever stayed at a Motel 6 before.
I do contribute, try and take a few pictures too where possible.
