Hi Aaron,

Yes i think it would make sense to have the users review always the top
review.

Also, a bit OT, but as far as review retrieval, is there a max number of
reviews that get sent?  Because one thing i had thought about was pagination
of long review and addon lists.  What a long addon/review list constitutes i
am not really sure.
