I finally did learn enough to be able to write to the Chinese engineer
guy in language that I hope is acceptable to him,

You mean there's finally some guy in CHINA who can't read something that WE
wrote because it was written by someone who barely knows what he's talking
about???? (no offense, Tom).

FINALLY!

Retribution for all those years of crappy instruction sheets.

You've done your country proud, Tom.
