    I was just trying to help the person who was looking for an image-resizing tool. Someone else made an obviously incorrect assertion (without nuance or idiom), and I corrected them.

    Do you also correct people telling jokes because they do not correspond to reality?

      Unfortunately, with no many idiotic signatures now in place, I have basically stopped reading them... so without being told to look specifically at your signature, I would not have noticed that you provide such tools. Sort of like... Google gives useless links because of the amount of garbage out there; hard to find the golden egg in the manure pile.

        Look, troll, shut up already. I know this guy named Chris Losinger, right, and all he does is write image resizing tools and they rock. He is a sarcastic SOB but hell, he can resize images. Damned trolls!

                    I think since joining CP I've asked about half a dozen questions, my questions have been answered by: 1. Looking through documentation. 2. Using forums... newsgroups. 3. Looking through samples. 4. Disassembly. 5. Trial and error That's why I'm negative, people want the answers handed to them on plate, if you are prepare to look, the chances are remember the answer for future and you'll learn something new at the same time.

                      :laugh: I even started replying..., Indian newbies are hard work, they should be cracked around the skull for asking even the most simplistic of answers without researching first.

                        No possibly about it. This is the funniest thread in some time. Thanks for being so blind as to make it even funnier! ;)

                              I'd be using it 100+ times a day.

                              Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.
