I always get a chuckle when I see a text file with the powerful
language:  "dankseed certification given on xx/xx/2000" or whatever.
Then the criteria that brother crow so aptly explains are listed.  But
why isn't there ever any discussion in the so-called "dankseed" process
as to How the Tape Sounds?  Admittedly, all of the criteria a tape must
undergo to receive this "certification" is good stuff to take note of,
but how can something be a "dankseed" without even a comment on the
overall quality of the recording?  

It seems that you could have a tape from a rig that was set up in the
bathroom of the club that might sound like crap but still pass the
"dankseed certification process."  I don't mean this as too much of a
jab at the dankseed folks (I am 100% confident that they are trying to
let people know that a "dankseed" can safely be downloaded as a good
source), but I'd like to hear what they have to say about this.
