Re: [Gimp-user] Driving me crazy!!!

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

Just paying it forward.

I'm a newbie to GIMP too, but used Adobe CS for many years.
Over the years, I have been helped many, many times by folks on lists just 
like this. (Remember Pagemaker?)
I've found that the lists that endure have a "smile in their voice" and say 
"please" and "thank you" a lot.

Cheers,
Rick S.

I have been looking for that tool for ages! Now I know what it's
called, I can find the documentation and figure out how to make it
work.

Thank you, ghart for starting the thread, and of course, Rick, for
chiming in at the right time.

This is why we sign up for these lists. Trying to help others, we get
helped in turn. Way cool.
