Am I the only one around here who enjoys having both the theatrical release and the special edition releases to watch? My problem with the special editions was not the changes that were made, but that the theatrical versions were not given equal effort for release on new mediums (DVD, BluRay).

I grew up watching a 1980s copy of the film recorded off TV shortly before I was born, and enjoy both versions.

In fact, I feel that there would be little opposition to the special edition if they had been accompanied by restored transfers of the theatrical versions each time they were released. As in, the bluray would have been accompanied (not necessarily in the same package, but available for sale) by a bluray GOUT.
