Yes, you do keep telling me that-but you have conspicuously failed yet again to answer the question of what the actual benefit is of excluding it, beyond the fairly asinine "well, it's not what the site's called". Answer the question. How does ommitting information make this site a better research tool, and what negative effect does keeping it have? Do you actually have an answer? Because I still haven't heard one. When I first joined this site, I thought I was contributing towards building a comprehensive history of comics. Since then, it has become more and more self limiting every year. Why? What, exactly, do you get out of limiting its scope? And where will it stop? When you decide that books from companies purchased by DC are not DC, and must be deleted? Or when you decide that licensed reprints of DC titles are not DC, and must be deleted? Or when you decide that any book not in mainstream DC continuity is not DC, and must be deleted? Why not just go the whole way and say that none of the stuff before the company was officially called "DC" is DC, and therefore everything prior to the 1970s must be deleted? Nobody is forcing you to remove anything. So what does this wiki get out of it? Why, beyond sheer unadulterated pettiness, are you doing it? Doesn't anybody actually care about history?
