You're obviously one of the minions of PM users that are still upset
that Adobe abandoned the program. Why you don't understand that it was
Aldus that realized that new program was the only way to move ahead is
mind bongling to me.
If Adobe had called InDesign PM 8, 9, CS, or CS2 would you calling those
who recommend an upgrade fools?
If you took the time to look around the PM forums, you'd see that almost
every post is answered by a FORMER PM user. I try to help, but the
bottom line is that the answer is almost always that silly workarounds
can be avoided by upgrading to InDesign.

Completely different.
For starters, the one post I remembered from you was in the InDesign
forum. Remember, most ID users moved from Quark, not PM so the occassion
Pagewrecker, RageMaker lines do pop up.
We get the occassional post from from a diehard Quark user looking to
stir up trouble and the get labeled as trolls, idiots and worse.

Again you show your ignorance and intolerance. You're so stuck in the
past with your insistance on using software that's been dead for 10
years and usenet instead of a web interface that you call everyone else
an idiot. I'm the one who asked you to remove the autoquote. I asked
nicely twice. Stick to usenet, Harry. With your attitude, it's all
you're cut out for.

They're already there. You just need to "play by the rules." Too much
trouble for you? Then don't go. Just like restaurants. Most of them let
you wear whatever you want. But once in a while you just have to put on
a jacket and tie.
