I can only speak for myself, but there are some people who like 
canon, and only canon.  I'm that way.  So I spend almost all of my 
time here, parsing questions, speculating, etc.  Maybe people like me 
should give ourselves a name, like "Canonites."

Anyway, for a Canonite, it takes a long time on OT-CHATTER to get 
anything that really advances your understanding of and appreciation 
of canon.  So I don't go over there much.  

Thanks for explaining the rules and history about "contests."  But I 
didn't really see the derby as a "contest."  It struck me as a 
gimmick to launch a nifty discussion about key canon points.  It 
certainly wasn't off-topic, IMHO, and if it had been broken up into a 
bunch of individual posts, no one would have even thought about 
moving it OT-CHATTER.

I guess I am still getting used to this board.  When the moderators 
break in, it feels like the cops are busting up a party sometimes.  I 
will have to stop reacting that way, perhaps.  Anyway, the moderators 
should know that I think they do a good job with this board, and I do 
appreciate their efforts.
