A theory-focused label ought not release stuff that doesn't fit the theory, I 
guess, but whether the people writing it give a monkey's arse is reasonably 
irrelevant. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if people's practices fit 
the theory then it's those practices (the processes and recorded results) that 
matter.

I'm not gonna do my own bottom of the clicks list, cos most of what I dislike 
I've just left alone, and therefore a) can't really remember and b) can't say 
why it didn't grab me.

PS. Is "cranky listener" someone already subscribed with a less anonymous 
address?
