You can scratch out any personal info if you need to; I'm just interested in

Maybe we can vote on who has the coolest looking card?

It would be a great service to the usenet community if you all would
ignore this infamous leech. Send Annika to your killfile, or find your
good ideas copied and sold.

Anyone who frequents the rec.photo.digital NG will doubtless have filtered
him out a long time ago. It was a thoroughly depressing day when he showed
up here... :o(

LOL ... when I first saw Annika/Bret's post my first thought was "Great, now I
have to kill-file this moron in another NG". Glad to see others feel the same.


At least Uni will now have some competition for the Best NG Troll award :)

I may be infamous, but I don't steal. Just looking for some new ideas.

Well tis true that I don't post much in this NG, but I do read it frequently.
Annika is everywhere !!!

I asked a serious question hoping to get some new ideas. That all the
responses so far are aimed at me tells me that this Newsgroup is populated by
anal-retentives like yourself who have little interest in helping people or
discussing the topic at hand, but would rather talk about killfiles.

One reader was kind enough to e-mail and offer me all the bootleg software I
can download for the low low price of just $24.95. Damn, and I just got CS
today from Adobe!

Btw, why does Adobe charge sales tax on Internet orders?

>Btw, why does Adobe charge sales tax on Internet orders?

A company has to collect sales tax on any orders place by residents of a state
where they have a business -- even if the order is placed to a warehouse
outside of the state.
Here's Nordstrom's explanation:

As to your original topic, Photoshop is not the proper program for
designing/printing business cards. Those are best done in a vector program like
Illustrator or Freehand or a page layout program like InDesign or Quark.

A very good explanation. If anyone thinks that ordering from a company
that does not have a physical presence in your state precludes one from
paying tax, think again. One is due to pay sales use tax.

http://www.state.me.us/revenue/salesuse/use%20tax.htm

Typically only businesses actually pay sales use tax, because the local
state will audit them from time to time. Consumers, while under the same
laws typically don't pay, the states simply do not have the resources to
audit individuals for this tax. Even if they had the resources to
audit individuals it wouldn't make financial sense to do so, the cost of
conducting an audit would no doubt exceed the amount of tax due. State
legislators must loose sleep every night thinking of the lost tax
dollars. All together now, say AAAhhhhhh.

He killfiled the original poster, but not all the folks who reply to
those posts...

That's why there are plans in the works to have this done at the sales level.

If you create a kill file and put all the people posting stupid and
inaccurate messages in it, there won't be a British post left! Kill files
are a measure people's intolerance to each other. Personally I think these
groups would be worse off if Bret (Annika1980) were not here.

Unlike the people who claim to have kill filed him, I enjoy the occasional
posts he makes. I used to wonder how he got some of his shots until I
realized it was the dog doing it all, Bret is just a mutt puppet!

It's Wilder on Tangalooma!

I'm aware of that, of course.
However, I'm not aware of any Adobe business operations in Tennessee.

You don't have to be. All it takes is one location, staffed by one
person, and they officially do business in the state. This location can
even be a home office, as long as it's officially listed as a location
from which Adobe Corp. conducts business.

What the hell are talking about? I reply to a post with a ligitimate
piece of information and for that I'm now a dickhead? What the hell...?

I don't know what your problem is, and I don't really care to, either.

So they actually went through with the streamlined sales tax huh? Uh Oh.
I read quite a bit about it on eBay forums when it was first proposed.
Folks there were not looking forward to it (neither are eBay). It could
complicate selling on eBay to the point of making it not worth it except
for a few large sellers.
