It's been a cruel, cruel summer...

There's some good input here and sa meredith makes some good points. I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me (or even anyone) but thought I'd run this idea up the flagpole to see if anyone else agreed or had other suggestions.

The restaurant section of the forum is a great resource, in my opinion, as I use it as a guide on where to go and what's good. I've made recommendations to friends/family based on the input in the forum even when I haven't actually visited the restaurant myself.

Although some of the comments about some restaurants have seemed to have come out in the wash, with the owners posting their take on things, I've just noted that many of the negative (and untrue) posts are from people who haven't been around that long.

Yes, I do take into account they're new and the posts have less merit with me, as newbiesaukee wrote, but I feel that this forum could cause damage just the same. Maybe it's just a couple of recent threads that have me concerned but some people have been less than kind.
