        I guess it's a moot point, though.  WotC will continue to
ignore the official sites.  Our community will continue to fracture
along edition/setting lines.  The best approach seems to be keeping
BtM internally consistent and not worrying about the outside world. >>

IMO, this isn't the best approach, Static.  Regardless of WotC's behavior,
such material is published, out there, and may well draw new enthusiasts to
SJ.  I think it would be better to acknowledge that it's out there--perhaps
as part of a listing of Spelljammer-related articles in Dragon, Dungeon, and
other magazines.  Include a note that none of these articles are official
material, and that the article should be cited if used as a source in a
submission.
