edt4..I'm a little slow...but you rock man..outa hidin'..into the witness protection program..

Provides an intelligent view on a huge range of issues.

Educated, articulate and all around great reviewer.

edt4 is smart, objective, and considerate of his fellow reviewers.  His reviews are thoughtful, interesting, and well-written.  That's why I think he deserves a 5 star rating.

ed4 has a graceful and natural style of writing, giving his reviews depths of insight and experience it would be hard to find in anyone else. I especially appreciate the way he describes his thinking on an issue from the inside, showing you how you, too, might come to share a similar point of view. Since he's the last guy I would expect to find in a cage match with anyone, I feel somewhat ashamed to make a disgracefully contentious point here, but I think I should: his deserved standing as the site's #1 reviewer shouldn't be attributed, as one reviewer said, to an alleged "liberal takeover of RIA" -- look at the endorsements from people on the other side of the spectrum, like aWiseguy, callsitdown, and Lance. Those opinions are a real tribute to what he contributes to the site.

He has been a good addition to the growing liberal contingent on the RIA.

Generally a good, knowledgeable reviewer, a bit of a militant when it comes to politics (not that there's anything wrong with that). He and I have sparred numerous times, he's a decent enough opponenet politically. But for him to be rated #1 or #2 indicates the recent takeover of the liberal viewpoint in RIA. I suppose the pendulum will swing back at some point.

When i first became a member on this site, EDT4 was one of the first ones to welcome me - it felt great to belong to a new "family" of very good people. Thank you for your support EDT4!

Great guy, smart, funny, and intelligent. Good all American guy.

a 4.5 a good reviewer. has a lot of knowledge about so many subjects. smart guy. I like to read his posts. look forward to reading more.

RateItAll Reviewer, edt4, is extremely knowledgeable. His points display a refinement and intellectual clarity. Moreover, he has a sense of humor which makes his reviews a pleasure to read (whether you agree with him or not). Keep up the great work, edt4!

Insightful,thoughtful and always worth reading IMO.

Extremely literate and thoughtful reviewer with deep, well argued commentary on political matters. While it doesn't hurt that I agree with many of his attitudes and opinions, being a left leaning sort myself, his reviews on popular culture are also evocative and humorous. Always a pleasure to read, and gracious as well.

Obviously a person of great intellect and mind. I love his comments

Good reviewer, smart guy, not a by the numbers political type. What's not to like. Good writer too.

...and look at this Magellan and me agree two times in as many days! What is this world coming to...LOL Edt4 is a strong reveiwer. I personally have enjoyed debating him on numerous occasions- and look forward to doing so in the future.

IMHO, edt4 is the intellectual heavyweight of RIA's small liberal contingent. I've enjoyed his debates with EO, and I think it's good for both EO and Lance to have someone to make them work a bit. And edt is not a politics only poster - his stuff on travel is solid as well.
