Wrong. I feel very strongly about DOOM. I think DOOM is simply the best 
action game ever made. But would I vote for it on some pointless top game
list? No. Instead of a favorite game list, what we need is a true top-game
list. There is a difference. As to how this would be implemented, I have  no
idea. It probably is not possible.
Hmm, I think part of my point has been lost...
The main thing I'm trying to say is that if a number of DOOM players feel like
I do, they realize that it takes a certain kind of person to really enjoy 
DOOM, and it doesn't matter where somone puts DOOM on a top games poll.
We will continue to play DOOM fanatically till every kind of kill has been
done hundreds of times... Then we will play DOOM II  :)
