Yeah, I get what you're saying! Upon further reflection -- I suppose I'd assumed it would be poor reccing etiquette to mention things like that, which is another reason why I feel more comfortable to do so in my own journal (where I can be as rude as I damn well please *g*) but not in a public reccing journal. The thought had never really occurred to me to view it as a service to readers to warn about flaws in the work.

(The one exception being content warnings of a "contains blah blah, may offend" nature. For example, character death warnings, or mentioning non-gen content in stuff I rec at genrec. I do always try to do that.)
