OK, firstly it's 0-1-0-0 not 100

If I remember correctly from my judo days, there are four scoring levels. 1 of the top level or 2 of the second level result in an instant win. Otherwise, the person who has the most of the highest level wins (I.e. if one person has one of the third level, and the other has 300 of second, the person with the one wins. The score only somewhat depends on the type of throw. Essentially, I think that ippon (highest) and wazari (second highest) have to come from a hip throw, and the score awarded depends on the cleanness of the throw/how the other person lands.

AMF and Crac! are just as good at Caution Radiation Area, FWIW.

FWIW?  I bought Caution spontaneously, unsure which was their best (well, I know Crac! was considered better but I didn't see it), and judging by reviews AMF and Crac! are indeed better, but I can't go by that alone.

FWIW = For what it's worth.

I like the first three albums about equally is what I'm trying to say, though I just "dove in" and got a big Area compilation for $50.

I'll buy the other two at NEARfest next year maybe, they were cheap, $12 each I think?  Hopefully I'll have a job then, so I can buy even more than this year (~10 cds and a dvd) - you can pretty much get anything there, often for a low price, and no shipping charges (which makes ReR even cheaper).

I should make the trip to buy CDs if nothing else.

Yeah, they have lots of venders from major distributors and stuff.  Pretty much anything prog related you can think of, someone there is selling (James doesn't count )

Then the coverage is fail then, 'cause it looks like 100 to me.

I hate all this poor language usage... it's either upper-case or lower-case.  It infuriates me that the BBC use this method too.  Why?

So I think they should put hyphens/dashes/em dashes between the numbers, so people like me realise it means 0-1-0-0 rather than 100.

Arbeit Macht Frei, Crac!, Caution Radiation Area, Are(A)zione and Maledetti are $14 from Wayside but only for a short time!

I'm a bad man... Patrick, just don't tell the wife!

Just wondering, how many people usually show up to NEARfest?
