Hey, Dick, thanks for your witty and insightful comments.
First, I don't have references in front of me, but I'm relatively sure that
LEGO has given a semi-official "ok" to posting the instruction scans, as long
as the sets are out of production.
Second, I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort. Since I'm pretty sure LEGO
doesn't care about the instruction scans as things stand now (see above), I was
merely wondering if anyone (or, more specifically, Kevin Loch) knew what LEGO's
position on having the instructions for discontinued, but "re-released", sets
scanned and served online.
