Commercial copies of manuals on the ko4bb.com web site

Manual contributors:

It has been brought to my attention that a recently uploaded manual on my
web site was a "cleaned up" copy of an Artek Media scan.

I will not get into the legality of doing that, but I have my own policy
regarding commercial scans, and if in doubt, you are invited to check it at:

http://www.ko4bb.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=test_equipment:my_philosophy_about
_test_equipment_manuals

In essence, commercial ventures like Artek Media and others provide a very
valuable service at a reasonable price, and it is our interest that they
stay in business.
Therefore I do not knowingly post manuals that come from such businesses,
and when I am notified of one, I remove it immediately.

Thanks to everyone for your support, reflected in the over 18,000 files
(hopefully all of them legitimate) in the current Manuals section of my web
site.
