Thanks for explaining to Alan that I only tell the truth.

bad snips which distort the meaning, reference or context are lies.


It's all he's got. Poor thing.

I just posted this, to you Neil, on the Windows group.

Better yet, go to college as an arts major with a focus on the graphic
arts.

That's like saying you can't boil spaghetti without going to a culinary
arts college.

As I responded to you in the Windows group, you are completely clueless
about the field, which is the root of your problem. The difference
between us is that people have paid me well to accomplish what you're
unable to do. So, you can continue to insult those who know the graphic
arts with your ignorant analogies and waste as much of your time
fumbling around with things you don't understand, because it affects
nothing at all on my end.


As a former professional prepress composer and publisher (analog and
digital), I always find his posts about this topic quite humorous. He
has a really nasty habit of artificially puffing himself up while
belittling anyone who actually knows better than him on a given subject.
He also switches nyms and obscures headers like there's no tomorrow to
avoid kill filters. The regulars in the Apple news groups can tell you
that, base on his numerous threads where it is very clear he doesn't
know what he is talking about. Get used to it. You will no doubt now be
labelled by him as some sort of dimwitted apologist until the end of
time. ; )

I think you're right... he's on the edge of tossing such labels at me
now. BTW, I worked my way through engineering school in my father's
prepress shop in the '60s, where I handled the darkroom activities
including process camera (my first experience with a 24" camera with
Zeiss lenses), screens, masks, etc. In the '70s I kept his digital
typography machines running, so by the '80s I understood what graphic
arts applications like Illustrator and Photoshop (actually, there were
several apps years before Adobe existed) were trying to emulate and
replace. But, the really important knowledge has nothing to do with
hardware or software; it's the principles of layout, typography, etc.,
which, even for simple signs is valuable.
