Understood. I personally have mixed feelings on the issue of who should vote. If it is supposed to be a vote of peers, then perhaps one has to regularly play amongst the giants to vote for them. On the other hand, people can be extremely knowledgable about who the best players are without necessarily being at that level themselves - just as some of the best experts on sports do not necessarily even play the games they are authorities on. But bottom line, I don't think anyone that personally does not feel qualified or knowledgable enough about the individual players should vote. What the giants list shouldn't be is a list of the 32 most recognizable names in the game.
