Sure you may have gone back in time and caused say, world war one to happen, but since that's already our accepted past, we have no basis to judge what the alternative could have/would have been, and thus from our perspective, no future time traveller can change the past to something other than what we experienced. Though it is possible that they'd changed it from what it had been when they left, since those changs have already happened they might as well not have. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Precisely. As I stated in my previous post, nobody's gonna notice the new future....except you. But who would want to live in a future that isn't yours? I could not live with that thought.

Plus, if you far enough in the future, somebody might catch you interfering with X, and if they got your face or something in, say, a photo, and matched that to you when you existed in what time you should have been in....ohh I can't say, but there would certainly be a buzz.
