Oh, dear - what can I say that will prevent this from merely being one of those 
oh-so-forbidden "me too" posts?  

SHIPpers themselves don't seem to care or make the distinction between stuff 
that's supported by canon and stuff that isn't, so perhaps they'd be happier 
with a dedicated board that doesn't draw that distinction.

Perhaps it's time for a poll, like the one that led to the creation of the 
separate movie board?
