"So please be assured I'm not trying to hassle anyone; but since I made the effort of sending out my work for review, I did hope to end up with an actual review."

Michael, get a clue. How long have you been sending out CDs for review? Every reviewer I've ever talked to gets about 50 times more CDs than they can review. I think I've gotten, at best, one review for every five CDs I've sent out. What makes you think you are owed a review simply because you went to all the effort to try to promote yourself? Do you also hassle venues that don't give you gigs?
