Of course I don't mind! Wouldn't have told you where to find me otherwise! ;-)

Yes, that was a bit of a misunderstanding on my part at first. Taking Spock as the authority on everything because he's usually correct about all facts in TOS ( longtime Trekker here too! ) wasn't necessarily right for nuTrek. I thought since he said Khan wanted to exterminate inferior people, and "Spock is always right", that they'd changed canon for nuTrek. ( Have to make sure people really understand how bad he is and cheer when he's defeated, right? Nope, didn't work out that way with me..! ;-) But yes, it totally makes sense that Spock would only know the general history of the Eugenics Wars ( and history is written by the winners, remember... ) and not know that Khan was different.

Some of the novels? Are you talking about Greg Cox' trilogy? I own those books but haven't read them yet because I wanted to wait until I'd read the upcoming Khan comic ( sooo loking forward to this one! ) first. I see classic Khan and nuKhan as two slightly different ( ... )
