I discovered years ago that most bullies are cowards in the right situation.

Bill, I agree with you 100% and this dudes attitude was UNCALLED FOR! Another thing I want to point out is the fact that there have been hundreds of old posts about the Surething Decal Maker software and if this guy had taken the time to do a keyword search here he would have found his answer.

I myself have posted many times regarding the Surething software because I have it and have used it. What this guy doesnt realize is not alot of folks here use Surething for making thier own custom decals. Many folks here prefer to use other software such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for making custom decals. Now if he would have taken his proverbial head out of his ___, and either looked up past postings OR (GOD FORBID) had some patience to wait for a reply about it he would have gotten his answer.

Please spend no more of your valuable time with this TROLL, he is not worth it.

Um.... you don't have to fill all that stuff out if you don't want to.  Might want to learn some social skills in the mean time. 

Mark,

I realize the easiest thing to do here would be to dog-pile on you. Raider83 said it best. A lot of those things on the profile page are totally unneccesary for most members.

The way to ask for help is to say something along the lines of "Hey guys, I'm having trouble doing  (insert problem here) can anyone help please?"

A great deal of the members here are either active or retired military, have wives and children (some who also come here for help and advice). I myself have 17 years in the U.S. Navy so you would have to try extra hard to offend me or most members with some foul language. (NO, that is not a challenge or suggestion.) 

I visit many forums and this and the LEM forums are hands-down populated with the most helpful bunch of friendly Grownups you will find anywhere. You only have a total of 4 posts so it isn't too late to back it down a couple of notches and start over. On a side note, you really need to consider another handle. Your current one will not last out the week. This is mostly due to the fact that the true King of A-holes was my Chief Engineer on the USS Port Royal(CG-73)

Welcome to the forums.

Regards,

Jeff

Ok, I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls but, that had to be the 2 most asinine posts that I have ever read. Here or anywhere else.

Sorry guys, I have a pretty jacked up sense of humor and if something is particulary rediculous, I have to laugh. So, yeah, I actually spit 7-Up on my monitor when I read this.
