I'm not a huge fan of PP.  However, I don't feel your statement is
actually true, and it's certainly a claim which you cannot possibly
prove, especially if you are not currently even a reader.
Furthermore, the content I describe which compares the EP-1 to the GH1
puts the GH1 in a lesser light, so your claim is disproved by that
fact in itself.  PP compares one manufacturer's wares with another's
all the time.  They also do a quick listing of good and bad points.

I reported something I thought worth noting when I read it and I still
think so in this context.  Your comment is more about you than PP.  I
understand how to interpret it, but I worry about the youngsters who
hang upon your pronouncements about stuff.
