Aaron, how many times to I have to explain this? (not that you'll accept it) - You define "Eva fandom" as the dozen or two old veteran fans (plus a few hangers-on)...you've even OPENLY said you DON'T want the show to ever be anything more than a "niche" interest, not mainstream, because it makes you feel "special" etc.  

Do you seriously think I'm competing with you, Aaron, for the "loyalty" of Jon Lin or BobBQ?  you're a few dozen - why do you think this is the "ReVolution" of Evangelion, and not "lets tolerate the mistakes of the past?"

Frankly, I think porn fanart, elitism, and apathy "ruined" fandom, hence the need to fix things.

Sharing info?   Oh come on, I could name a few Anno interviews you've been clamping down on.....or after 3 years, are we finally going to see progress on "Anno Talks to Kids"?

You're so full of shit, V.  You make it sound like we possess some magical
treasure chest or Anno's lost diaries.  We've made a bunch of stuff
available.  I myself went through quite a bit of effort having a variety
of things transcripted and put up on Eva Monkey.  Things like the Platinum
booklets, the supplementary materials in the various domestic manga, and
numerous essays and articles from across the internet.  Rachel translated
the Classified Information, amongst other things.  Brendan Jamieson and
Bochan_Bird translated and posted the RCB, amongst other things.

If there are things we had they we never posted, it's not because we were
hording it to ourselves.  We only have but so much time to bask in the
internet's warm glow.  If there was ever something specific you wanted,
you could have always asked, and someone like myself or Rachel could have
sent it to you.  But that would kind of necessitate NOT being a total
dickhead and burning all bridges in the process.

V, do us all a favor, and please just go away.  You're ruining the fandom.
 If you're truly noble in wanting to improve this fandom, then remove
yourself from it.  I can think of no greater contribution you could make.
