I don't recall turning down David, but might have on the grounds of being unable to effectively ingest & manage the files he was producing. Today, I'd offer him his own server space to help him do things his way.
If I remember correctly, a big issue with the David Moynihan files was that many of them were not copyright-cleared for PG, and incorporating them into the PG collection would have taken a lot of effort.

That's true. Today, we have preprints.readingroo.ms, and www.gutenberg.us that have easier procedures for copyright clearance. But very many of David's eBooks are PG titles, just reformatted, and with the PG header/footer/license stripped. -- Greg
