I'm not sure people are trying to create the same here, though I haven't

been reading _all_ the emails. I know people like having something to 
follow, and the canon stuff is a big issue for some people. However as
it 
states in the rules, people are free to write their own history -
including 
expanding upon the canon stuff. So I guess trying to stop people
expanding 
the canon is the same as stopping people expanding their own histories.

Fortunately, Jon has kept rather quiet in all this debate - wisely as I
see 
it (bow to you Jon if this is so) because any word out of his mouth is
seen 
as "canon", and he would be tying himself up in knots trying to keep up.

Some people get all fired up "protecting" their own little empire or 
universe or units what-have-you, and thus things may get a little
heated. I 
find it's always advisable to keep your tongue firmly planted in your
cheek 
when reading such list messages - take them too seriously and, well, you
may 
as well be playing the Evil Empire's rules. :)
