Re: Yes, it's all Todd's fault!

[Todd Kopriva] "I always wonder why someone like Kevin or Dave or Bogie would type the same few paragraphs time after time "

That's an easy question to answer: Attitude. It's taken me ten years to get conversational with the basics of After Effects (another decade for expressions and scripts?). For newbies to presume AE is—or should be—"easy" rankles.

However, I take supreme umbrage at the implication that Kevin, Dave and I (among others) do not often include helpful and gracious advice and assistance in our curt or enjoyably eloquent RTFM-ish responses.

Todd, bless his FAQ-oriented heart, is an Adobe employee and the Adobe logo in one's sig file carries the imprint of maintaining customer relations. This often is possible only at the expense of access to what seems to be an inexhaustible supply of grace and patience. We are glad he's here, glad his company pays for his participation, and, if interested, we can learn something from his posting style. Todd, unlike the rest of us, really doesn't have the flexibility to be an offensive jerk unless, of course, he has established an alias account.
