[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes22 manual online

[Rik Sandberg]

Michael,

To my way of thinking, having to spend time or worse yet having to pay
someone else to mess around sending out a manual for a "few" bucks is
probably more expense and trouble than it is worth. Seems like it would be a
lot less trouble and a far more friendly gesture, to just post a manual on
line and never have to take time away from more productive things, like boat
building. Especially if someone else is willing to do the posting.

Not really any of my business though, I guess.

Rik
