I'd be happy if the Puppies found a book they really liked, got behind it, and tried to convince me of its excellence. Let it compete against the books other people like, and try not to turn everybody who's not with you against you.
I'm not so happy if they find five works that represent some point they want to score, and then deny anyone else a voice, except to say "no".*
But I'm not in charge. I'm just a guy who likes to read SF and F of many different flavours. The award can go on with or without my participation or recognition.
