of returning them.
It might be helpful to state the policy (or choice, if any) explicitly so people know what
to expect.

Coming from you that's a worrying comment, unless you are joking.
So Al, just curious, once bitsavers has scanned the manuals and stuff people send them,
what happens to those paper originals?
Does bit savers return them? Or make them available to others?
Can people sending manuals to bitsavers get a guarantee (if they ask for it) the
originals won't be destroyed? Stupid question, but doesn't IEEE CS already
have these archived?
of course they are
