Wow, Chris was out of line for using white paper instead of Technical Paper
which is what is shown on the front page of the PDF. Shame on Chris. OK,
relax.

Obscured? You must believe in a lot of conspiracies. BTW, I use (forgive me)
Entourage and without that TinyURL, I can't click nor copy and paste the
link you left and get to the paper. So I'm quite happy with this obscurity
despite the evil intent by Chris.

Next time I see Chris, I'll be sure to whip him with a wet noodle. Bad dog

Just go to the site and you can see its an Adobe doc. No one is putting a
gun to your head to read it. If seeing an Adobe page is so shocking, close
the browser window.

Well good deal that you're so brilliant. I've only been in the imaging
business for about 17 years and actually picked up some gems from the
article. The rest of us morons might actually get something useful from this
paper until you submit something equally worthwhile.

I'm still waiting....

OK we'll all agree to disagree. Ready to step down off the soap box and
contribute something useful?

Not at all but many would prefer that you lose the troll attitude and get
back to submitting something useful to the list than your obvious destine
for Adobe.

Start coding when you have a usable Alpha, let me know.
