I'd characterize it all as a bunch of whining about someone who has
and does provide and INVALUABLE service to our community just because
he doesn't happen to be doing it exactly the way YOU want.
Kinda funny that this whole thing is born out of the desire of someone
who has stated on lugnet.cad.dev that he doesn't actually own any Lego
sets. So basically what you're asking for is for someone who _has_
paid money for the DF and FK sets to spend some of their own time
scanning the instructions (on a scanner they paid for), then spend
more time uploading them to Kevin's site, so he can spend some of his
time organizing them, so you can then turn around and download them
for free.
If that were to happen I sure hope you'd be a little more appreciative
of all the effort that others have gone through to fulfill your wants.
I'd say that if _you_ want something that _Kevin_ doesn't want to do
with his site right now then _you_ ought to start your own. You pay
for the hard drive space, you pay for the speedy connect to the
internet, you spend the time sorting through all the uploads and
making sure everything is ok. Once you've done that, I'd say you can
have whatever "silly" rules you want, or none at all.
Until then, I'd say you ought to stop whining and cut Kevin some
slack.
