Do I detect a hint of bitterness here?

When I complained about your effects fixes it was because what you are doing with the pre-ANH crawl idea is preserving the original, and you should preserve everything else as well. If you were releasing not a pre-ANH version, I wouldn't care about that at all. Then there are people who say no matter what it has to be like it was released, but I think if you're going through all the trouble of making one thing identical to its release, why fix something else that was "broken" upon release?

As for Mike's alterations, let me say this: if he was distributing these, I'd get them in a heartbeat. This would be the ideal version of Star Wars in my opinion, but I think history should also be preserved as best as possible.
