one problem with things from twenty years ago is that it is close enough to be notable to us, but far enough back in time that finding sources of commentary via the internet is difficult.

perhaps someone with the Dragon Magazine Archive pdfs could find some citations to use? otherwise, how do you determine what really was consensus views during that time frame and what's just personal opinion? you basically need to find someone with all the old magazine archives still in their garage and a lot of research time on their hands.
