Preserving Sheldon's legacy

I'm reading Sheldon on wheelbuilding and finding quite a few
interjections by John Allen. These are of little interest to me, not
quite irrelevant but irritating all the same. Allen simply doesn't
have Sheldon's innate sensibility, the judgement to know when enough
information is enough.

I most sincerely hope there is a place where Sheldon's legacy is
preserved pure and intact, without accretions by others. Does anyone
know if such a thing exists?

Don't know the answer, but it would seem technologically
feasible.

Last tool for that I played around with was called "Site
Snagger".

There are loads of such tools.

wget (linux/cygwin) being one. httrack being another for Linux and
WinHttrack for Windows.

I think Andre is asking for a time machine, to get a copy before
Sheldon's work was tampered with by others.

I'd suggest;

And then use those tools to get your own copy.

While I never knew Sheldon I had always assumed from reading
sheldonbrown.com that Sheldon himself was the one that originally
included the articles or excerpts from others. No?

Cheers,

Sheldon was alway knowledgeable, articulate and very informative, but
also had little difficulty in acknowledging that were sometimes
diverging points of view on some subjects.

I haven't been keeping an eye on it, but as one who appreciates the
realization of the promise of the internet, it would be a shameful
crime against nature for anyone to mess with what Sheldon gave the
world.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but it does really **** me off. Sheldon
seemed to like John Allen, but I always found him insufferable.
