I think they are both kinda a blunt, and Likes to be objective. Enrique has more experience then most people. Blass Uri might be a nice consideration, unless he want to get paid for it ;) I would be tempted too...... but considering the fact you wont give it to me, and also considering the fact, i have no experience on reviewing, and considering the fact i dont have time, and considering the fact you are gonna take a bigger_then_life risk if you let me review it :) LOL if I did, I would have make sure that you guys go out of business ;) pavs
