I sometimes write Amazon reviews. Sometimes I can't remember whether I've written a review before. I think there used to be a way of filtering the reviews to find one's own previous reviews, but maybe that doesn't work any more. Is there a way to check? I'm not even sure that looking at one's own order indicates whether a review has been written previously, or not.
Also, sometimes it's hard to write a sensible review because of the way Amazon may group similar products together. For example, Brand X models A and B may be good, and deserve a 4 or 5 star review, but then Amazon goes and puts Brand X model C on the same web page, and model C is in fact a rather different and considerably poorer object only deserving a 1-3 star review. Sometimes I write new wording to indicate that, but it is not at all helpful. One item may be a 5 star item, another a 1 star. Should one go down the middle and give 3 stars?
One finds that other reviewers also have similar issues, as when reading the reviews it is quite obvious that often they do not refer to the specific item of interest at all.
