Or, its open to anyone with Internet access, anyone who the site has been
marketed to and is aware of it, anyone who has the personality-type that
participates in such polls, anyone who would want to contribute to such
bogusness, anyone who isn't turned off by the entire idea of polling dj
and/or the outcome of the tallies thus far, etc. its also open to anyone who
may want to skew the results -- that 'anyone' can be 'anyones' suddenly.
That said, it may or MAY NOT overlap with your average club goer, your
average dj fan, your average person who thinks djs should have a profile to
start with, your music elitists, your MUSIC-fan (what if the producer
doesn't happen to dj in attempts to be appealing and secure market share),
your journalists (egoists would never submit their opinion to be handled and
sorted with the laymen's thoughts), your booking agent, your industry types,
your other artists/djs at hand.
its a fan poll -- people go there to prop up their favorite dj, the dj of
the week, shit, oakie's probably on there himself voting, voting,
voting...again, that lends itself to more the marketed image of the artits,
versus the music quality or the music at all -- and that is just where the
problem lies.

i'm quite certain this poll is simply open to anyone who wishes to vote.
obviously there are flaws, but what otehr gauge could you possibly use to
judge what djs have the highest profile 'overall'
