        *Shrug* people either love or hate settings like SJ, PS, or any other
world that's not completely generic.  I don't see the problem; the
references he's referring to are only a line or two every so often; most
products have what, a paragraph total?  Sometimes a short story or two
in massive complimation novels.  Guess some people can't even deal with
that tiny bone that TSR throws us SJ fans.  The problem for guys like
this are, the *writers* themselves loved the SJ setting; many, I've been
told, want to bring it back.  Afterall, it would be extremely easy for
the writers to completely ignore all SJ material, but they don't.  And
given that us SJ fans aren't exactly marching on TSR headquarters with
pitchforks and torches, it's not really like they're under any pressure
to put the references in.
