RE: gum dot test - Crawford

I had no idea I had so may fans :)
But seriously John, if you are planning to size your paper , the gum dot
test becomes a non-issue anyway. I did the test because my initial work
in gum was plagued with staining. I found it a lot less than useful and
regretted wasting the time. Once I learnt how to size my paper
effectively, I had no further problems with stining anyhow. IMO the very
best way to get into gum is by making small prints. This worked fine for
me.

Cheers
Kate

John,

I have no 'dog in this fight,' but I'd suggest you're being a bit over
sensitive. The list works quite well, loads of sarcastic humor and
fiercely held opinions, but in the end the technical lifeline and depth
of real-world support here is without equal. You need to loosen up a
bit, ride with the punches, don't take yourself or anyone else too
serious and post when the urge arises. I've been here over ten years and
there isn't any better source for information or entertainment.

I don't understand who could resist Kate's proposal of marriage so
casually anyway.

Well, I can see where this thread is now going so I will unsubscribe
from the list. Thanks to those who did give me some positve input and
things to think about.
