In Response To: Wanted: Your 2 Cents - US Giants List (Bill Riles)

Bill: I think it unseemly and unfortunate that such lists are publicly posted and discussed in such a forum. Certainly it leaves a distaste associated with visions of ballot stuffing, vote rigging, collusion, promotion, etc. I think it will further harm the valid perception around the world that the list is too influenced by the Americans.

Marv: Okay, maybe publicly critiquing a particular player or two is unseemly, and some people might go too far in their comments, but I think that it's important to discuss in general the factors that a voter should consider. Sometimes, however, that requires identifying a particular player, either by name or by providing information that makes the name obvious. For example, should recent ABT play and ABT success (e.g., the top 5 to 10 players on the recent ABT points lists) count more than being a former world champion and writing indispensable books? The players I just referred to can easily be identified, but that shouldn't deter anyone from offering a reasoned opinion.
