Huh??

You've radically underestimated my appreciation for orcs, and overestimated my appreciation of boy bands. There is a love story: Arwen & Aragorn.

I wasn't suggesting that I personally be in close consultation in the development of the Aquarium. Only that some of the more widely desired features be made optional, rather than completely refused.

Also note that the Lord of the Rings films is under an obligation to its fans to stay true to Tolkien's books, and Jim, creating an original work, is not limited by continuing the work of a previous artist.

I agree with the majority of your post (the sensible parts). But as far as fearing what others would add, no one's going to force anyone to use their modifications. It'd be up to whether to download or not.
