You are entirely right about this, and I whole-heartedly second it (actually, third it, since dkwilliams got there before me), even though I totally choked in my own attempt to rec at the_reel.
(I signed up. I picked out and wrote up my recs. I watched and wrote up my reviews. I was all ready to go. And then suddenly the month was over without me actually posting anything. This is why I avoid signing up for recs communities; apparently I can only rec on my own LJ, and my posting brain just breaks if I try to do it in a community.)
But I lovethe_reel beyond the telling of it, and I totally want everyone else in the world to sign up there and rec there.
Just, obviously I should be the exception to that rule.
(And, since I've got you here anyway - I love your AMV recs and reviews. They are what I aspire to write but never manage to accomplish: coherent, thoughtful, deeply intelligent analyses of the vid. Whenever you write up a vid rec, I rejoice.)
