Once you start doing that, the temptation is to release newer ones.. I thought
Suzannes words about fans trying to show each other the latest information to
appear cool or gain popularity was a bit harsh. But her words seem to have been
borne out by the influx of immature "I don't care about the issues, email me
the scans and I'll put them up on my site" posts. I guess it just demonstrates
her experience, and explains why I'm still a newbie!
So yeah, maybe now these are taboo, hit-hungry people will seek them out and
display them. But is this rebelling for a cause or for effect?
It reminds me of a story my girlfriends parents told me.. sitting comfortably?
That growing up in Argentina, alcohol is available everywhere, so to rebel
they'd go behind their parents backs and sneak Coka-Cola! The terrible American
influence! (1)
The analogy? That publishing scans that could harm the LEGO community, isn't
rebelling against something worthwhile(2), it's just rebelling for the sake of
it. Rock on guys!

(1) Not that it's not a *good* influence now.
(2) Which I would fully support.
