10-4 that. Lest my hastily worded response from last night be misunderstood, this is a far more eloquent presentation of my point. The bottom line, in my thinking, is that this information shouldn't be lost, but seems a shame that there is not a mechanism in place to create a permanent archive for those that wish to purchase it. I would be first in line to try and work with anyone interested to try and come up with a scheme for archival quality reprints/PDF's for those that would like them. Simply frustrated by the easy loss of hard to come by information, when the loss is ultimately preventable. Will gab more on the issue later, but have tossed my twopence for the evening -
