lclapshaw,
Long dumps like these on forums are a negligent and gross misuse.
Create a Google Drive account (free) and upload your PDFs on it. The make the documents shareable, that is "viewable" by anyone with the link. Then provide the link.
You can then save the forum posts to talk about specific points, or the eclectic choices you made.
Another alternative is to create a Google Blogger (you can have several under one ID, they need not link to each other) or other blogging account and reference that. The advantages of this approach is that you can always revise and edit entries. And as with the PDF, you can make the format well organized and readable with links to jump up and down the post.
I hope this helps. When I looked at the last sets of pages for this forum thread I say this raw dump. I'm not going to look at it, and I'm not going to waste time formatting it nicely so I can read it. That is too much to ask of any reader.
This is the 21st century not the dial up days of AOL and the 20th century.
