From where I am sitting, it does not matter what reasons Kevin Loch has for • not
posting instructions of current sets.  Brickshelf is maintained privately • and
the operator may do whatever he wishes.  It may be within TLC Fair Play • Policy
to allow current set instructions to be made public by private individuals, • but
if Kevin does not want to do, then that should be the end of the • disucssion.

No, it would be the end of the discussion if A) we were simply told why (and
we were! thanks Benjamin), or B) if Kevin said he didn't want to discuss it.

However, the discussions keep arising every so often.

Kevin has told us repeatedly that his policy of not posting instructions • for
currently-available sets is not something he is ready to change.  I am okay
with that.  It may inconvenience me sometimes, but I am okay with it.  On • the
larger scale, I am very thankful that someone like Kevin Loch has taken the
time, effort, and expense to post a very comprehensive and high quality • archive
of past Lego set instructions and catalogs.  Why he does it and what rules • or
limits he sets for himself is his business.

Brickshelf is all we have right now for searching old set instructions and
catalogs.  What would we all do if this site did not exist at all and no • one
else cared to do what Kevin has done???

Your valiant defense of Kevin is admirable, but rather misplaced. Surely
Kevin isn't going to begrudge Dave a little idle >_curiosity_<....  ;-)
