In closing, I
might ask you to consider taking your sweet time getting
this stuff online. There are still some manual dealers out there. Let
them handle the decline of their business in whatever way they see
fit. All of them know it is just a matter of time - probably five
years or less. If you flood the net with the free scans, it might
really fuck them up. I know some of them, and it is not unreasonable
for me to think that they might get really annoyed by your efforts and
burn their libraries just for spite.

That is a most interesting metric. I honestly hadn't considered that
issue.
The key, I think, will be communication with them to understand which
manuals have sales going on, and which ones it would be advantageous to get
online because they have long dropped into historical myths. Thank you for
the advice. All of it.
