Chuck,

You may or may not be aware of the Rainbow scanning project that was 
started, and is now in "limbo", since Lonnie's passing. It is up in the 
air as to what will happen, but given that a contract was set up to 
actually sell the magazine scans on CD/DVD - I am not sure that 
offerring what you have online is something we as a community want to 
encourage.

I would hate to see the large amount of effort already expended to 
unbound and scan all of the Rainbows done already to be jeopardized in 
any way, should Lonnie's estate catch wind of your scans.

Everyone: What are your views on this?
