Now hold on a minute...

Anyone who can read will see that all Pete did was mention several 
technical details that can result in poor quality reproductions.  We all 
rely on quality manuals and technical documentation to keep our 
boatanchor radios running, and this advice is on topic and indeed 
helpful to many individuals.

You might want to re-read Pete's posting, Bob, then come back and tell 
us what Pete said that justifies your sarcastic remarks above.   I know 
my buddy Larry WA9VRH who (as a volunteer) coordinates the archiving and 
scanning of documents for the Collins Collectors Association under 
license from Collins Radio will be the first to agree with every point 
Pete made.    There is nothing more frustrating than to download a 
"free" manual that has been rendered worthless by scanning practices 
that make the details unreadable.

I have no problem with the occasional announcement of products and/or 
services of benefit to list members. But Pete did not do so.
