This paper uses the modern surveys: FIRST and 2dF to show (or rather confirm):
1. SMBH mass is _not_ responsible for the radio loudness. 2. The alleged RL/RQ dichotomy is a selection effect - there is a continuum of possible levels of radio loudness.
My 0.03 PLN: I will still like the term "radio-loud" for those AGN which occupy the particular part (side) of that radio loudness continuum.
