There is no need to be prissy. The topic is valid, and you do sound like you don't get it. The system would be effective if private reviews were given before buyers read seller feedback. It's not a difficult concept, and this guy is more than welcome to discuss it. You think the system should be overhauled. Great. Good for you. We think it would work quite well if private feedback was not retaliatory. So he's asking if the buyers can read seller feedback before they give private feedback. If you want to run a thread about overhauling the review system, go start a thread. This obviously isn't the one for you.
