Yup. The whole post was true, but I think this is the most important part of it.

Nothing in life is free. You work hard spend a lot of money to get your name respected enough to get the free stuff. (well not always, but usually)

I do not poop on the free stuff getting guys. But I can understand why some do. The important thing is that most of those guys share the knowledge they gained over processing large numbers of chips More important than any "review" they do give. (Let's face it most of them suck at reviews anyway but are great at getting every last bit of performance out of them)
