you are right James
even the canon isnt necessarily the canon for everyone - have heard of GM's who built whole campaigns without using Going Home for instance and just kept the US Army in Europe because that was more what they had in mind
or who start in the US with the Texas or NYC modules and never even have their players in Europe at all
and really in a lot of ways the canon is built to be modified and used as each GM wants to - even from the fact that there is no way any single group could ever play them all if you kept the timeline intact - you just cant be in every place at once (for one, unless you do what my GM did, you cant come home in Omega and play the Caribbean module - the timelines clash)
or go on Last Submarine and do Allegheny Uprising or the Ozarks module - again the timelines clash
thus really, short of the original authors coming back, any campaign by its very nature is completely individualistic and complete on its own
