Lydia,I've thought thogruh some of those issues myself. My links are different from my sponsored links . With Nando's Peri-Peri, there wasn't even a request for a review; I honestly just like it so much, I wanted to write a review on it. I don't think it's dishonest to accept an item to review, as long as the sender knows that the review will be unbiased; if it's a bad review, be ready to accept that. I wrote a review of a local barbecue restaurant, and I didn't give them perfect scores on several things, but they were happy to have the review, and I think they appreciated the honesty.I will say that anything I write on here will be pretty much unbiased. I won't accept a sponsor that I can't say favorable things about That starts getting into integrity issues.Thanks for talking the time to comment!Curt
