Chortle.  Sturgeon's law remains a reality.  if I want the top ten
percent it's necesary for the market to include the other 90%.  And
since tastes vary some people will consider Crusade as part of the 90%,
others Doctor Who part of the 90.  This being RASTb5.mod I figure we're
all biased that Babylon 5 is definitely in the 10.
A small loyal fanbase or a large clueless fan base can either be a bad
thing.
