I like messing with the continuity, trying to piece it all together and I suppose at the same time cementing classic Who's position, make it all a whole rather than trying to ignore some of the older stuff...
Would that the writers of the NuWho series shared your viewpoint. There's fanfic out of canon, and then there's just screwing everything up because of a desire to appeal to a certain demographic. I've been living in terror (well, not really because it's not that big of a deal, but still) of what Moffat (whom I really like) is going to be doing with ClassicWho-NuWho continuity ever since I read somewhere that he said a story about time travel can't ever be written so as to lack continuity (or something like that). Still, since the continuity was shot to Hell by RTD and company (in my opinion, anyway), I suppose it can't get too much worse, no matter what Moffat does.
