I'm the one that offered a compromise in which EVERYONE wins.

Ongoing series for continuity fans, one shots and minis for casual readers.



You're oversimplifying things. You call readers like me "casual readers" but it's more complicated than that. If I buy few comics it's because there's few good comics to buy. What I really am is a selective reader.
If the one shots and the minis, wether they are within or outside continuity, are the only quality comics, then I'll buy those. But I'd rather have an ongoing series of quality comics.
Now, this is where it becomes a problem for you. I think that for a comic to be good the writer must have no limitations (besides the obvious moral ones... and even for those there's Vertigo). I think continuity CAN be a limitation so, sometimes, it should be forgotten. You think it can NEVER be forgotten within an ongoing title, because ongoing titles are for you and only for you. THAT is why you're an egomaniac.
