i jus dont see how a poll is gonna stave of techno 'dying out'

its utter toss.. 99.99% of techno fans i know where MUSIC fans first & foremost & found techno by looking for something new or hearing it via a pal.. NOT by seeing it in a f*cking magazine poll.

ive a huge mammoth respect for Sims as a dj & producer, to Split for their show & gigs & for Finke.. but this ?

this, imo, is NOT the way to help techno move forward. yes, spread the word, and if only Magic Feet was still about.. but its not.

if Split want to spread techno, do it themselves, not via a magazine that barely covers 'techno' outside of Mills, Hawtin, Cox etc.. Split & its parts have massive reputation & scope for spreading techno, so why are they asking for ppl to vote in a poll ????

i dont know ANYONE who has anything good to say about polls & what they stand for.. especially this yearly ego hand job..
