That's generally how I feel.... but it's also about some odd marketing aspect of this site which makes life fun.... Without any financial or editorial pressures from anyone else, I write about what I like.... like Moe's... and I know because I talk about it, they get more business about it.....
but... since I'm just one human, and unfortunately on a diet.... I could be enticed more to write about things if they were free...
Heck when
Burnsent me a case of their drink I ran free advertising for a week. They've had a post, and "free" advertising since January of 06', and that thread has gone viral a few times on social bookmarking sites....
Works great for all of us...
On the other hand, "
Hunt Brothers" has been sitting high in Google for their namesake's key phrase.... and offering a much less positive review. I've offered to rewrite it if ever comp'd and I know that the owners have read it.... I can't guarantee the review would be any better.... but... If I owned the company I'd be sending me freebies asap.
