Actually, I'm not a huge fan of the passive - perhaps owing to my training in Journalism and other similar writing courses. I believe the passive makes the sentence convoluted. I'm not sure what others think about this matter. Perhaps I'm taking a simplistic view? Also, technical writing is supposed to be more 'passive' in its orientation but I find even in this genre reports are easier to read in an active voice.
