Yeah. That, what you said. :-)
The manuals I've obtained for some of my boatanchor (military) equipment are
loose-leaf, three-ring punched. This scheme makes a lot of sense for any
evolving entity that needs to be documented.
When there is a change, pages are simply deleted, replaced, and/or added. The
page numbering system uses military-style paragraph reference numbering rather
than serial numbering, so added pages don't change the numbering of the
existing pages unless new sections are added (and then you would just replace
the remainder of the chapter). You can make such pages just as attractive as
pages in any other kind of binding, and you could ship the pages as a block of
unbound paper, with the user supplying a binder of his choice obtainable from
any office supply store. You could use paper with a plastic-reinforced edge so
the three-hole binding wouldn't tear out. Updates could be shipped in a
regular-size manilla envelope with a reinforcing cardboard sheet.
What's wrong with doing it that way? There must be something wrong with it,
because nobody in the ham world is doing it. Would most hams not like such a
manual scheme? I sure would.
