Would they even care???  Just thinking out loud.  So maybe if there arent that many manuals on the website and say I had one they didnt and offered to scan it and send it in for freem member ship, maybe to broaden there library, to attract more paying customers.....  who knows. Now I feel like I should write some sort of disclaimer like this wasnt my idea. See you all in the slammer! HA</blockquote>
