No doubt does the content of DTRT factor in its ranking on people's respective lists, but I'm speculating that it's not the only criteria for someone ranking DTRT ahead of HD.

Sorry, (I'm misreading you aren't I?) but I wasn't implying that if HD was on your list then Bus 174 should've been on it, too, or anything like that. Just that like HD, B174 was a popular documentary in PTP and thought it was gonna place higher.
Anyway, you should see it now...no, like, yesterday.

I don't think it's slept on through and through in PTP and in general. Though, slept on in that I believe it and lots more movies should be seen as much as The Dark Knight and posted about with more fervor, but hey. I just think that not enough people participated in this poll; HD got lots of love in the Top 5 Documentaries post not too long ago.
