That cannot be said, though, of the lists of the year’s Top Ten Movies and Top Ten Albums (and also, in many publications, of the Top Ten Books, Art Exhibits, Moments in Sports, and so on) that arrive each December, during the week before New Year’s.
The people who make these annual lists, the daily or weekly reviewers, have crossed the great sea of packaged amusement, pathos, and distraction for us, and they have emerged, clutching in their hands just ten plastic jewel cases.
The publication of multiple ten-best lists is probably a well-intentioned effort to embrace the principle of pluralism, and to make a democratic acknowledgment that taste is, after all, a personal and subjective matter.

 Our Process, Next Steps, and who participates on this list (was Re: [New-imc] New jersey (again)
As for people from the aspiring imcs being part of this list, I think we have to strike a balance between providing a way for a new IMC group to be involved in its application and keeping this list a place for people who are already familiar with the network to have discussions.
Maybe an explanation of the working group, asking that the new IMC members respect the working group's intent to be a safe place for discussions about new IMCs among people who have been involved for a while, would be a step in the right direction.
It is a bit strange though to ask people in an open mailing list with open archives to only comment on a particular thread.

 Jersey City List - Downtown Jersey City, NJ - New York magazine article on downtown Jersey City [Message Forum - ...
I mean let's be honest, Jersey City is a good place and it's worthy of comparison to NYC neighborhoods, but at the same time it's not exactly the new nexus of cutting edge art and culture, unless I'm really missing something.
People considering moving here need to know that the city has made no efforts to accommodate them (and us) in terms of the train stations, roads, and parking among other things.
I still think it was a good article - it at least places Jersey City in that context -- and yeah everyone in the whole NYC area feels the strain of all the changes -- it's in all the boros.
