"...and one should always avoid thinking about the revisionist LT gibbon hunched over his keyboard frantically typing with one hand as he..."
...and is that how you wrote your LT plot John? Remember that the person writing it now is just you, or Bin, or John, or Simon a few years down the line. It's not an evil LT 'central' person, it's not someone trying to corrupt what was written before - it's someone in a plot team, writing something to keep the players happy this year and next year, and almost certainly doing it without reference to anything except what remains on the remnants of the old public website.
Perhaps the former writers could, rather than slagging off those that are doing it now, offer them copies (or even the originals - they don't need them now) of their old notes - the unpublished stuff, that said what they had planned as background. The offer might well be ignored, but it would come over a lot better than the bunch of grouchy old men, bitter and twisted moaning about the good old days that people seem determined to show themselves as on their LJs.
