Hi rdgracer71.
If it can comfort you, know that I as well happen to have the same regret as you about the inability to be as active as I would like to in this forum.
There are so many ideas I wish I could put into action with GIMP and share in this forum, but unfortunately several hindrances often restrict me from doing that, such as the lack of time, the fact of sharing my internet connection with other people and lastly, in my own case, the slight problem of writing in a language different than mine, which for instance prevents me from replying to any request faster and more frequently than I usually do.
I really hope you may finish your GIMP related projects within the desired period, in the best way possible and, above all, by having fun. I look forward to seeing the results.
Thanks for your lovely words and thoughts.
