For example, we could point out that it's far more harmful to accuse people of real mental illness than it is to point out with jokes that the person in question is being a bit overmuch and needs to clean up their act. -- David J.

Mike provides far too much solid, beneficial advice in the area of Photoshop to deserve to be made fun of. I don't think there is any contributor to the Photoshop newsgroups that is more knowledgeable and helpful than Mike. He must be coming from someplace personal to react to comments about mental problems. It's out-of-character for him. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
