i agree 100% - i'm sick to the teeth of wading thru crap just to find the good stuff.
i think the biggest problem is that a lot of sites dont have a dedicated person with sufficient knowledge to look after each genre. trackitdown and juno are pretty good in that respect but some crap still filters thru.
back in the good old days of vinyl distro the distro themselves would have no problem telling you they thought a release was crap. simply because they had an investment in the label too.
i worked for intergroove's warehouse in london for a short time in the 90's and the amount of stuff that got rejected or sent back for another mix was fairly high but then again those were the days of runs of 15,000+ units, so a lot more care had to be taken or you could end up with a lot of unwanted vinyl sitting on your doorstep.
