It was also interesting to find that there are a few people who, based on my extensive sampling, read most of the over 1,000 bad reader reviews on Amazon and made snarky comments on many of them, even though they had already formed their opinion of the book and had no reason to read more reviews of it (other than to reply with snarky comments).
