He's John Fleming not Charles Dickens. For a DJ he writes reasonably well and his points are valid. I'd rather him articulate those thoughts poorly than not at all...

J00F is awesome Fine words, perfectly suited for such a travesty.

Well said John mate, some good, sound points there.

One point that caught my interest was that the poll is in English, thus reducing votes from non English speaking countries.

I had to laugh. Imagine the furor if the poll was available to voters in other languages? You would see DJs from Czechoslovakia, Chile, China, Russia or Poland showing up in the results, NONE of whom anyone has ever heard of.

This would only serve to further infuriate the people who already believe the poll is bogus.

They would look at the results in disbelief and say "I haven't heard of ANY of these DJs this year, it is WORSE than last year"

It seems that many people who complain about the poll want it to stay the way that it used to be back in the day, with UK and European DJs dominating, and the occasional US house DJ thrown in for good measure.

Good for John for speaking up though.

Agreed. I'd also have to add that it doesn't require much english to vote in a freakin' poll. I'm sure that a lot of people in the countries you listed know enough english to vote

Indeed.

John makes valid points. I bet many DJ's wouldnt even be able to write a paragraph of how they actually felt.....And many Dj's probably feel the same...and yes many just don't care.

I have loads of respect for John...as he is one of FEW more professional individuals in the industry.

You're portrayal of the situation is profoundly distorted.

Posted by Aquadyne on Oct-31-2006 23:44:

Christ on a very large bike, a real life clairvoyant in the making!

Welcome to 5/6 years ago.

He makes some good points. I think at the least they should split it up between genres and make the website more accessible to non-english speakers.

I'm pretty sure you're still one of those tarts who uses that list to decide where to go out on a given night. My condolences.

Wait, wait. You're calling me a dickhead for pointing out the "obvious" but yet you trumpet your own appearance on the TA 250 poll? That seems a little ... hypocritical?

So tell me, am I being clairvoyant once again if I said that the TA Top 250 list is utter shit as well?

Either you dont post enough in MD or Mikey doesnt post enough in MWTA....I can't decide

About 99% of my posts have been in MWTA

I'd say about 100% of Mikey's posts have not.

So it's a delightful combo of both.

The reason I brought up the "blatantly obvious" is because some of the posters in this very same thread who egged me on to vote in the poll, trying to convince me that it was a benchmark of relevance - are now posting about what a load of bull it is.

Thats unfortunate. But most of us here (including Mikey) have known this to be a joke for quite some time, and treat it as such.
