Probably not. A few people salty usual suspects.
I would prefer they didn't I might want to buy them one day for whatever reason. Also goes against that support every edition a while back thing they had going on.
I missed a lot of product back in the day so never got a chance to read it.
Might ready own it I forget what GAZ pdfs I do own. Eventually want to get them all along with the B, X,C,M,I series which I haven't completed.
That's just me though wouldn't be to super salty but don't like being told what I'm allowed to read or not.

I think this is the big question really. Sometimes stuff does just disappear. Like the early series of Doctor Who, for no reason other than the videotape was recycled. And consider the product under discussion here, which I haven't read, and don't want to read. It sounds like a really poor quality piece of work with no intrinsic value, irrespective of the issues. Is it worth going to any effort to save it for posterity?
On the other hand, one can't help but think of piles of burning books, which historically has not been a good thing.
Which is why I'm sitting firmly on the fence, despite the splinters up my backside.

There's probably a few hardcopies floating around.
Ouch surprisingly expensive on eBay.

Given the choice between adding a disclaimer to older products, or removing older products from the market entirely, I would choose the disclaimer every time.
And if the question is "should consumers have that choice?", my answer is an enthusiastic "yes."

Specifically I referred to the name Chief Sitting Drool as a name that sounded like it could belong to a Garbage Pail Kid and probably the least offensive joke in the book. And, no, I don't consider that particular joke to be a racial stereotype.

More or less how I see it.

Insulting to the individual in a ham fisted 80's satire way?
They're mocking Sitting Bull?

I can think of a much more offensive parody for that. And that's the problem with comedy, it's very easy to be hurtful when trying to be funny.

Yeah I remember 80's school jokes and nursery rhymes. Often same jokes as overseas just change the group you're insulting.
