     Sorry Chris Hilker, I know you did a lot of work on this and, but from 
     your post:

     The clear winner is "abstentions". I missed that, was it a seven inch? 
     What Label?
     
     
     
     As you can see from my humorous response, I don't really agree with 
     the methodology used to generate the results to this popularity 
     contest. I didn't "learn" anything. I think the response last time the 
     new method was under scrutiny was that the old method produced a lot 
     of 1 vote albums (or choices). What's wrong with that. At least it may 
     surface something that is VERY good but obscure. Then I (and others) 
     would get something out of all this.
