And there was Much Rejoicing! (Nearly back up to being a "periodical", by Chaosium's definition, at least in a Good Year.)

Oh yeah, that. I grant you that it could imply any number of things about Your Local Orlanth (or Orlando, or Worlath, or Erlandus...), but I presume that the latter part wasn't intended to apply in modern-day DP.
The spin I'd put on those more extreme cases, without the benefit of knowing in more detail what's being referred to, is that they're at least more typically caused by breakdown in "diplomatic relations" between the different "aspect priesthoods", rather than a squishing together of wholly alien cults. If this ever gets to the point where, as it were, reciprocal recognition of each others' initiates ceases to be, then yes, you have Actual Separate Cults.

Merely "less", young Nicolas, merely "less". You're sure you're not using the "the 60's started in 1964" definition here, though?

Well, I only said I _liked_ them; whether this is despite or because of them being up in the top left of the map is quite another story. Besides, if anyone has an Impale with a 3D6 damage bonus coming to 'em, it has to be those Holier than Thou Loskalmi. No, I take that back; if anyone does, it's a Grotaron PC.
Vindictively.
