Great quote!

It never fails to astonish me how critics feel they can attack someone based on nothing except their own prejudice and lack of understanding! Small things amuse small minds, and when the whole purpose of a review is to make snide remarks, I sometimes wonder how these guys get their jobs -- it doesn't seem to be based on qualifications!

I've often wondered if editors limit critics to one or two favorable reviews a year...since they never seem to think that an audience that goes away satisfied means anything...
