Re: Photoshop CS3 Win distortion w/unequal horizontal and veritcal

Dear Keith, and others -
While I'm one of the people who agree with a lot of what you are
writing here, and certainly your
right to post it, don't you think it's time to let this one go? One
issue here especially for those of
us who receive these in the digest, is for some reason, an
unwillingness to trim any posts before
sending them out. You've been as guilty of that as any of the
others! It's one thing to read
disagreements on issues, and even somewhat amusing to observe some
absurd biblical references,
but ridiculous to have to scroll down forever, just to discover a few
more posts. So aside from
letting a dead horse lie, what say we all get back to the B&W
PRINTING business at hand. AND
everyone- TRIM YOUR POSTS - Even the oldest and most forgetful of
us do not need or want to see
the same group of repeated messages ad nausium! BELOW, SEE WHAT ONE
POST LOOKS
LIKE IN THE DIGEST FORM, THEM MULTIPLY IT BY FIVE FOR TODAY, AND WHAT
YOU
HAVE IS A FORUM ON THE VERGE OF PETTY CHAOS.

1) I haven't reposted or rehashed a single issue.
2) It got on the nerves of several individuals as soon as it was first
posted. They either don't care or they would prefer not to know. Too
bad. That doesn't give them the right to try and shut down the flow of
information. If it did, anyone could simply complain whenever a topic
they don't want to hear about comes up (as Gary Brown has tended to do
for the last 18 months) and people will shut up. I won't.
