Re: From Tiers to Percentiles: Introducing a Big New Change to Criticker

I'm not sure I understand this 0% business... If the highest possible percentile is 99%, then shouldn't the lowest be 1%?

I definitely agree RE: Alex Ross Perry (looking forward to Golden Exits , Listen Up Philip is my fav of his) and Lonergan (esp. Margaret , now that's a hell of a dialo...
