I find this totally worthless.  The sampling of readership is taken from a
very small population.  The decisions on what is or is not "hard to justify"
are completely and absolutely subjective.  I often got the feeling, while
looking through the list, that "hard to justify" meant "I, Herron, don't
have any interest in the subject matter, and it isn't about computers,
so...."  I fail to see any value in this.
