I missed most of this because my internet modem fried itself a few days ago, but let's put this to rest here and now.

Despite what show staff members say, or what fans like, or what the Mightiest Heros comic (which is not actually in the same continuity) says, or who voiced what character, or whatever other reasons we have for or against shared continuity, for the time being, it stays.

The shared continuity idea comes from the Marvel Appendix, and the Marvel Appendix is considered canon by this site. Now, we've had many a user disagree with that mindset, but it has not, and likely will not, change. In the hardcover edition of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Vol 1 5, which contains an index of numerous alternate realities created as of 2005, the final page of the handbook contains a blurb reading:

"For updates and the unabridged list, see http://www.marvunapp.com/master/earthteaz.htm#numbered"

As such, the Appendix is canon in the eyes of our staff. And, as stated above, the Appendix give us the shared continuity, which means the shared continuity is canon. We don't expect everyone to agree with our views on the Appendix, but it's a decision that's been upheld by the staff numerous times.
