He did the Richard Nixon "I'm leaving and you won't have me to kick around 
any more" thing but, apparently, he forgot where the exit was. He's been in 
my killfile for a long, long time.

He must have gotten lonely over on that abandoned news group.

I was hoping he would entertain himself by responding to his own posts.

I would bet that he did, at first. He probably got discouraged at how 
much of an ass the person he was arguing with was.

It's always a Special Occasion when the c.o.l.a. troglodytes cross-post
to c.o.l.m. *Sterling* rhetoric, as usual o_O

Feeb is the exception that proves the rule.

I was cross-posting my compilation reports for Linux, but got flack
from someone in colm.  So, no more of that!

Speaking of which...stand by for news!

Which is stupid, as every claim coming from you. A pro has some habits
and if you change it, it will slow him down until he's accustom to the
new UI. You can't understand that because you videos show you struggle
at every thing you must do in your software. So changing them wouldn't
slow you down in any noticeable way. But a pro would notice.

Where do you plant the wacky tobaccy?

Let me suggest looking at Inkscape. That does vector drawing, which is 
resolution-independent, and is easier to modify.

I recently did something similar to what you’ve been doing (except a bit 
simpler), drawing a diagram of a car accident I was in for an insurance 
claim. The satellite photo was in a background layer, and I added various 
annotation layers on top, including lines with different colours and dash 
styles indicating the paths of the vehicles etc. Inkscape has some nice 
design functions to let me get text blocks neatly aligned and distributed 
etc.

And it’s all nondestructive. Which means I can change things (e.g. the 
sizes and rotations of objects) without losing any image quality.

I use GIMP, too, when appropriate. The thing with Free software is, it 
doesn’t cost you any extra to learn more than one tool.

    GIMP(GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a widely used open-source raster
    graphics software. While it's not specifically designed for vector
    graphics, it does offer some basic vector capabilities. In this blog post,
    we'll discuss the nature of vector files, explore GIMP's vector features,
    and provide a guide on creating a vector logo in GIMP.

If one is willing to learn.
