Maybe this will turn out well and you'll get a manual that is readable.  I
hope so.

Hi Kent,
I talked to a representative from Cushcraft yesterday. He told me that he
would send me a replacement manual by mail in the next few days. I was not
encouraged by his unconcerned, almost uninterested attitude. Stay tuned,
I'll let you know how things turn out.
