Hey, Pollard! Big Ern needs your guarantee that all of this stuff is safe to download! ;)

Of course it depends on what the meaning of "safe" is. Safe from viruses, safe from copyright issues, safe from opening something and finding porn pics? I doubt there is anything to worry about aside from a copyrighted text that I missed when pulling those out but feel free to delete as soon as you see it. Other than that, no guarantees because as per my quote of me above, I have not opened every single file. There are a few books still there that I know of but the copyright has expired on them, just like most of the books I home-schooled my kids with. There are some pretty large files/texts that I left because I looked over the first several pages for a copyright notice and there was none. There are a lot of people in this area that like to put out info for the benefit of all. Maybe they got paid with a grant, maybe they do it just to do something good. It is possible that someone could have removed pages that originally had copyright info. I've opened a lot of them and never saw any crazy stuff. Everything pertained to the title. No bait and switch. Almost all in this batch of files I've uploaded are pdf files and you can view them before you download them and as I said in the post announcing the upload, take your time and browse them. The pdf files can be fully viewed prior to downloading and they're not going anywhere anytime soon. The definition of "anytime soon" is is variable. If some freeper shares it on a major social network and there ends up being thousands of people downloading everything, my web hosting will let me know that I'm going over my bandwidth and I'll have to do something about it.
