Essentially, yes. You have pretty much summarized it.:) The goal, as I understand it, is to enable people to play over the internet the same way they do around the table, or as close as possible.
I play D&D because it is fun. I play Living Greyhawk because it, too, is fun. Just because I now know when the campaign is ending (and it's 16 months away before we can't play it any more) doesn't mean that I didn't have fun playing, and it doesn't mean that I won't continue to have fun for the next year or so. After that, I plan to continue having fun playing the new campaign with the new rules. I fully expect 4.0 to be better than 3.5, just as that was better than 3.0, which was better than 2nd edition, which was better than AD&D. Game design moves on. Everyone who plays the campaign will have to move through the acceptance that it is ending in their own way. I prefer to cherish the memories and friendships I have and look forward to how good it'll be in the future.
There are a large number of people who don't know what 'literal' means. It's a useful word, if used properly. People need educating, so that its meaning doesn't change. After all, you wouldn't say he's literally a Nazi about grammar, would you?

There was a game system named that. This is not that game system. Confusing, I know.
I'm afraid of Americans. This just helps to illustrate why.
Aren't they already doing this?
