Just as a note, I don't think Kevin as a general rule goes elsewhere to
"gather" scans. I get the impression he gets so many in his designated inbox
that if he had to go hunting around for where the other ones are, he'd never
get anything done.
So to the general public, I suggest you review the info on brickshelf about how
to upload scans and do it that way. Kev may or may not have already gotten
Egon's scans, this note is from a while back, and I certainly can't speak FOR
him, just give advice like i just did.
I wouldn't think it's any big deal but worth pointing out.
