I think everyone here should take a note from what happened to the old 2300AD Yahoo groups. Certain people there were such sticklers to canon that the atmosphere became very vile. This led to the formation of a distinct NonCanon group but the damage was done and participation decreased dramatically. Even when the much anticipated 2320 finally came out activity stayed low. (Albeit the publisher of 2320 totally crapped it all to hell.)
Don't let that happen here. Like any RPG its up to the Players and GMs to determine what they are going to use or discard. Canon be damned. Kato is doing a great job, the forum has constant activity and is a really civil place to post and discuss. If Kato wants to declare something canon, as it pertains to these boards, than so be it. He and the DC Group can't beam it into your brains at night and they can't lord over your own games. So you are still free to pick and choose.
I say Good Job Kato, I'll still be here lurking around.
