I imagine if there are disclosures, like I've been putting onto mine lately, they would be less likely to remove them. But I'm not sure - who knows what they are wont to do. Which is why I'm glad I now have my blog to add my reviews there as well :-)

Not your fault. *sigh* Amazon and its policies scare people who haven't read them closely, so a lot of people have stopped posting reviews there, thinking that if they do they can't post their reviews elsewhere. This is a misconception - Amazon can only request exclusivity on reviews that come from books they have provided gratis to the reviewer, and the reviewer can still post their review to any "independent" site that has either no links for purchase, or links only to Amazon (i.e., private blogs, Shelfari).

Good Goddess, I just noticed that I am the only reviewer on most of your works on Amazon O.o Only 6 had other reviewers, and of those, two had only one other reviewer! We need to do something about that. I also haven't read eFiction yet; need to do that... :-)

Very interesting stuff. I only joined this one 'cause it was you, Randy - won't have much time to take part, I'm afraid.
