did you find, search, know, or bump into that site with a THUMBS DOWN review of that site?

That fellow I deem an idiot. And I'll tell you why. First let me say that I cannot type well at all, and my spelling is an embarrasment. But then again, I don't make my living with a pen (or keyboard). That gentleman appears to do so.


I draw your attention to his first critique of snap.

When typing in the search box with the term “Scrivs” (nope, not vain at all) the searchbox went through each letter and did one of those autofill type of things, but unfortunately I was already done tying so that “feature” served no purpose. My connection is slow today so it is possible this played a role in it being so slow, but if that isn’t the case then there is no reason to have it up there

First of all he does'nt like the auto-complete (assist) feature. Users preference I suppose?. However as he attempts to suggest he outyped the auotcomplete...please note what word he mispelled (typed).

Now......Since that was written on May 19th, 2006, almost two weeks ago.
He has had ample time to proof read and edit his review. He has not.

I deem his review unworthy of any credible integrity. <phew>:ThmbUp:

I intermittently use emoticons. I don't care for them that much.

Good site, SUff.
I have gotten some decent freeware from SNAP before - simple file joiner has been very handy and it was FREE!
Got on that will unzip and entire folder at once.

Nice search function, too.

I like that feature. Frequently I'll search for information not knowing if a web site contains what I am looking for.

Snap lets me stay imbedded in my search whilst I peruse sites.

It prevents multiple push's of the "back" button and/or a refresh to google with the same or slightly altered search string.
