[Elecraft] Missing parts

My worst experience (and most embarrasing!) is that when I got my box 
of parts for my K2, for some reason I took the bag with the parts for 
the control board and stuck it in a drawer in my basement. So when I 
got to that part in the instructions, I could not find it and of course 
assumed Elecraft had not sent it. I shot a panic'ed email to the parts 
account and got back a response of 'boy that is very worrisome!' I was 
looking for something unrelated to the kit in that drawer and 
immediately saw I had made a huge mistake!

For the record, I have not seen any missing parts, only those I lost in 
the rug/vacuum cleaner, etc.
