I haven't read the review yet, and in fact, this is the first I had even
heard of it being in Game Developer.

However, since I wrote the review of 8.5 for GD, I couldn't let the above
comment go . . .

GD seems to do a good job of separating their product reviews from their ad
sales.  They asked me to do the review for 8.5 because I had just contacted
them about mentioning Director in a different article.  They had decided to
review Director, but they never once gave me any "guidance" as for what
rating I felt it should get.

I don't know where they found Justin Lloyd to write the review, but I would
be EXTREMELY surprised if they chose him simply because he would not look at
it favorably, or that they choose anyone else because of how they would rate
a product.

Finally, NC I did notice the smileys, and I'm sure you were just joking
around, but since to a certain extent it is my own reputation, I still
needed to respond.
