Pulling stuff from the Dragon would be a massive undertaking which would involve some pretty serious editing. I'm feeling divided on the subject mostly because I think Hilde has an excellent point in that the early posts do set the stage for the coming action. On the other hand, there is also a lot of meandering around that goes on in the early posts that has everything to do with the Green Dragon and very little to do with our storyline.
I recently printed hard copies of the Green Dragon posts that lead into LD & the stack of paper looks like a phone directory for a fairly good-sized city. I also re-read most of it & found that while there is a lot of important material in those posts, there is an almost equal amount that is completely irrelevent.
