That's for you to decide. I already gave my opinion that I would mark it a
failure. There might be others on this list that wouldn't mark it a
failure, and that's ok. It's not my job to convince you one way or the
other.

But now you are deciding something for the user based on your preference.
You don't think the name is important but how do you know the user doesn't
think it's important?

And how do you associate the visible part of the review with the link to
read more? If I'm tabbing through the links, all I'll hear is "read more",
"read more", "read more".

You're making that decision based on what? Your preference?

Ok, so how do you know if the person's name is important or not to the user?

This is just my perception. I am just seeing how much important their

It sounds like you don't want to mark this a failure. That's certainly your
choice. Again, I'm not going to try to convince you one way or the other.
I think plenty of discussion has already happened. Priti also had some good
points.
