If all the gedolim who’s seforim are on hebrewbooks.org knew their sefarim would be
available to ANYONE with a click of a button and presented as public lectures on
yutorah.org- would they have ever published them in the first place?
This is why I never published seforim. The bigger shailoh is why the netziv became the netziv when he could have just used this as his excuse in shomayyim. Maybe he didn’t chap until he started to learn?
