The best HTMLGIANT posts as chosen by you the readers of HTMLGIANT or at least some of you

Last November, I put out a call for the best HTMLGIANT posts. Folks responded, and then the thread devolved into a perplexing debate about Noam Chomsky and Gilles Deleuze. Nonetheless I combed through all of it to bring you the results (which I think especially appropriate now, after No Comments Week).
By far, the most votes went to:

Mike Young: Moves in Contemporary Poetry
In fact, it was the only post that received multiple votes!
And here are the rest, presented alphabetically:
