If it's one older guy, good luck. You're probably better off doing everything by FAX honestly.

It's part of their job. If they can't do that right they certainly can't do the rest of their job right. Just like it's OK to get queazy if your doctor is functionally illiterate or your lifeguard can't swim. Also things that match average people in some areas.
