Thank you,
Transient. The
Airing of the Grievances is meant to be cathartic.
Not a rebuttal, but a clarification:
My
Art Mann .gif
restored the green light to his forum post profile, which is what
Sarah said she would miss.
I don't make professional .gifs, nor .gifs professionally. I have outdated technology. I do no graphic design at all, other than making fonts, and making monochrome bitmaps to be imported into my 1990's era font editor, which suits my purposes more than some newer font editing apps I have. I have
GIMP, but don't use it.
MS Paint is enough, for the ways I make my fonts. I'm a creative luddite.
One of my favorite true stories is of a doctor on an airplane, whose medical kit was in the cargo bay. He did open heart 'surgery' on another passenger, using a flight attendant as his nurse, and improvising with whatever instruments he could find in the kitchen area, and using mickey bottles of vodka to sterilize the instruments. He stabilized the man, and kept him alive until the plane landed.
To quote
Virgil Sollozzo from
The Godfather, with reference to digital art, "You think too much of me, kid. I'm not that clever".
It's good to see you write more than a
