But he explicitly said (in the bit you quoted, even) he *wasn't*
recommending it. Just saying it was there. If you want to say the place is
rubbish, from experience, then that's great and just what we need to hear -
but being grumpy with him for recommending it when he *didn't* isn't on. You
should give people the benefit of the doubt more often, it makes for a
friendlier list.
Anyway, don't want to get into an argument. Just wanted to point out the
obvious.
