Thanks to Jon for throwing us all a bone.

I'd like to think we'd act like we had the same licence Larry Given gave
other writers when he threw known space/man kzin wars open to other
writers:

"Have fun but don't break the playground equipment"

Liberal use of PSB and Handwavium etc (this includes NorAm being safeguarded
by the Crown - as an Aussie this is sheer Tuffley Genius; PT Barnum
would be proud!)

Personally I wouldn't revise anything.. there is much room to move and create
within the currently established backgrounds.

Traveller went down the path of constant revision and it balkanized the game
players and system both.

Full Thrust's strength *is* its fungibility and lack or at least studied
disregard of canonical backgrounds.

Let's all grab a brush and add/embellish to what's gone before but not
kill the goose.
