I see, yes, the word crap is often given a negative connotation. I guess I
figured writing it as 'crap' would have indicated it was meant in a joking
fashion.

Ah, I though the Dark Horse "Droids" was a reprint of the original and so I
never read them.

You are right the current policy does now include the original "Droids" and
SOTME. They must have changed this with in the last year. There used to be a
page on starwars.com that explicitly stated that SOTME was an ignored soucre
(as far as continuity) because it occured at the same time as ESB. Same with
the original "Droids" and the prequels. Now it seems that the new policy allows
more liberties, as far as minor conflicts, as long a there are no major ones.
The new Infinites catagory is for anything that does not fit in the accepted
timeline. Obviously what we see in the movies still overrides everything else.
Ok, well I will now consider myself educated and up to date on the current
policies. Thank you for your persistence in getting this point across. :-)
