On March 31, I posted a whole bunch of pattern reviews in a row, for thigh high panties. It really hogged up the main pattern review page. It also bumped a lot of new reviews to page 2, which isn't fair to those reviewers. Even I found it annoying, and they were MY reviews.
I was told by the contest moderator to post them this way [Message Board - Recycle contest topic - page 10 and 11, I think], but I wish that I hadn't. I should have reviewed all 20 pair in one review, chosen the cutest/funniest pair for the main photo [to show in the contest report], and put all the rest of the photos inside the one review.
I wish I could put a counter on this topic, just so I'd know people read it.
So I want to apologize to everyone this annoyed, and everyone whose reviews got pushed back...I really am sorry.

Ardis - I saw it and I just assumed you did a 'batch' of reviews. Some people do it. I sometimes do 2 or 3 reviews at the time. I didn't think anything was wrong with it or with you. 
Btw - the only downside I've noticed to doing batch reviews (including mine) is that people (including myself) stop reading all of them.

Ardis - what's done is done - don't worry about this little thing. I don't think it was a big problem. I do agree with Touran about the fact that after reading a few of the reviews people would bypass the rest of them. But - no matter - it's in the past.
As far as I'm concerned you apology isn't necessary. You have given us so many wonderful tips and different methods of accomplishing a task and we all appreciate your talents.
P.S. What a great idea to turn t-shirts into panties.

Ardis - you are one of the coolest people in my universe - no apology needed. When I saw all those reviews I knew exactly what had happened. They were all marvelous, by the way.

I agree that you should have posted them in one review since they were all the same pattern. But as far as posting many different reviews at the same time, I see nothing wrong with it since as you say, they were all your reviews. You have as much right as anyone else to post a review, or many.
Yes, you did bump other reviewers onto the second page, but that would have happened anyway. I look at page two and sometimes page three to read reviews in case I missed some.

I really enjoyed all the pics but didn't read all the reviews. Life is short don't sweat the small stuff. Your projects are always so nice and interesting, if anyone was upset they'll get over it.

I did feel sorry for those that had posted reviews just before you, but then I quickly realized that it had something to do with the contest rules. I'm sure most people made the connection.
In any case, when I'm reading reviews, I continue on until I reach the end of what's new to me. It doesn't matter how many pages it is; I'll still see those reviews.
Though certainly not necessary, I think it's very sweet of you to say something.
Edited to add: You are so incredibly generous with your time and knowledge. We are very lucky to have you in this community.

I actually did read/look at all of them because wanted to know what the sayings were. . .and I don't think you should apologize. Your reviews showed me that my hypothesis is correct that it would be completely worth my time to make a bunch of undies out of old t-shirts and left over knits I have. A girl cannot have too many. . .don't you think?
Oh, please don't worry!

Well, this just made me want to go seek out those reviews!

YES! Me too. I had not seen these reviews before, but I'm going to look for them now.
I wanted to clarify that I was responding to Glenda and that the reviews did not annoy me because I hadn't noticed.
