Kevin Loch has told us repeatedly that his policy of not posting

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???


On the one hand I agree with you. On the other hand, I see no reason to
not discuss TLC's policy. There is no reason to shut down discussion
just because Kevin Loch has made a final decision (I would also hope
that his decision is flexible if it becomes apparent that there is not a
legal issue - though he may still chose to continue to not include
current sets, but then in that case, we also should consider supporting
someone else who decides to put up a different web site).

I somewhat agree with you.  The reason I have for not discussing this further
is that there is no need until Kevin Loch indicates that he wants input from
others and is considering changing his own policy.

I agree totally with supporting someone else for a different web site.  This I
am happy to discuss.  As for support:  I think discussing financial support can
also be important for the good of all of us.  I do not believe that Kevin Loch
has ever asked for a dime from any of us no matter how much we use his website
resources.  If anything, his time and effort are worth some monetary value.
