Hi CyberStretch
I agree with you, that you cannot praise a product before you view it - but dialyn has a great point about not critcizing something that you have not had a chance to review :)
Everyday, we as consummers, purchase products or services with a leap of faith :)
Prime example - when we go to the movies - We have seen the previews - and in some cases we have heard the promotions from the people who have created the movie - but until we actually plunk down our money, buy our popcorn, find the perfect seat, and the lights go out and the movie starts - we have No idea what we have just paid for.
And, you are saying ... well a movie is only a few dollars - I don't know about you, but going to the movies is a big expense for me. Usually a light dinner for two before hand [pizza], and you HAVE to have the popcorn and pop, and the price of a ticket usually starts around $7 a piece. So for two people, for one movie [that I have no idea if I will end up loving it or hating after my 2 1/2 hours are up] I have just spent well over $20.
There will be a front page to the magazine that will be open to the non-subscribers - We will feature the Magazine's content, have some article blurbs, and let you have an idea of what is inside - it will be then be up to you the readers as to what you what kind of "review" you give us when you are finished with the experience :)
