It really should be stressed in more follow-up posts than just this one, how important it is to get the right fork as a replacement. I personally don't think it is even possible in a lot of applications. For MTB there are all kinds of shock forks and suspension 'corrected' rigid forks available on the aftermarket and something can be found that can work. For touring and racing bikes, the fork design is more integral, and often the only practical replacement is no replacement at all. TL;DR: live with the bike as is or get another that does not have components that cause worry.
