Thanks for the info, Herb.  I find it continually amazing how different
some lists can be from each other.  While the Spotmatic list tends to be a
less argumentative group than the PDML, the people on the Spotmatic list
widely praise a member who is selling his own scans of old Pentax manuals,
while here the general consensus here seems to be that this is an illegal
and unethical practice.  When I suggested on the Spotmatic list that this
might be illegal, several people responded with a "who cares?" attitude
that surprised me.  I'm glad to see that the PDML at least doesn't react
like that.
