Bit of fun for our amusement. 
Add to the thread by QUOTING what you consider is a lazy question from a lazy poster...
Lack of hardware or system details wont usually count...and be careful about second language situations.
Rule: NO discussions in the thread. Let the quote speak for itself and stand alone.
Be careful it doesnt back fire on you 
1 Correct answer
oh, and that includes saying, " no I am not setting up the camera on that rallraod tressle .. you moron ! ... unless you get some railroad person here with flags and lights and signals and walkie talkies .. so I know I"m not gonna get squished like a bug and die out there ! "
union or not ( member or not ) jurusidiction is another thing.. ( my union was NYC .. if I went to Africa I aint crying to the union about rules..and to be honest I AM THE UNION .. ITS NOT ANYTHING MORE THAN YOU AND ME ... h

Any one know what time does the Adobe Kids Forum opens today?

what time did you wake up ?
snark,
check out diabetes girl in santa thread... she is like the smartest person and maybe the nicest person I ever met in my life. she knows stuff that is way beyond anything I could even begin to talk about. it's impossible to tell you what I mean. Like really " smart " and knows FACTS.... and is really nice. She will say , "Hey the masters is on now and X is leading by X and Y is behind by Z and W is on the 16th hole and so on .. and not only does she know THAT sort of thing.. but she knows the baseball , basketball ( pro and college ) stuff.. plus just about ANYTHING that you talk about.. like she is TOTALLY brilliant..
But she is also like " retarded ".... this is obvious the first 5 seconds you meet her. There is something WRONG with her. LIke she is just not " normal ".
She is the nicest person I ever met I think... and see how willing she is to sit for a photo ??? I had to coax her, make her relax and stuff..she took stuff too seriously ( too aware of the camera ).. but she was game.
Anyway, I think she is wonderful.
she has a couple degrees.. you know, eng lit and russ lit masters ( knows tolstoy stuff and so on )... so if I mention something about like " oh, remember when that guy jumped on the window sill in war and peace and was drinking out of a bottle of vodka... " she would like rattle off his name, the names of all the characters in the room at that time, and pronounce all their NAMES correctly ! OMG !
BTW - ever been thanked, acknowledged or marked correct from a "lazy post thread" ?
Hmm. I am not sure. Good question though. I have certainly been marked correct for some really easy answers. Even answers that I had just seen in another thread the same day, and I merely copied the answer. Like with the graphic used by numerous people on how to create a sequence from a clip. joe bloe premiere had a really good one with hands. i liked using that one.
Then there was this one I just found when looking for examples. Pretty easy. It borders on the lazy, but I don't know if it fits for sure. Another one that might fit.
Being thanked or marked correct isn't important in or of itself, but I get your point. If they are too lazy to research their question, then they are likely to be too lazy to come back and even say that it worked, or didn't work, or whatever...
By the way, I am totally missing the meaning of Any one know what time does the Adobe Kids Forum opens today? I should probably get it, but I spent almost the entire day working in the yard and building an 8 foot long planter box for my deck. My wife is afraid people will fall off on the side where there used to be a chain link fence but we had it removed. So I am a bit tired, I guess.
Yeah, writing and making money at it is tough. There's a friend I know just fiinished a new book and 2nd edition of first one.. and is now into promo for them.. which is a whole nother thing.. a lot of time and work. Book signings, speeches (his books are like motivational things and business oriented management things .. not fiction )..
So he is into that now and it takes a lot of time and stuff... but you put aside that clump of time and do it.. and when it's done you can move on to the next " project"
It's been good for him and pays off but it is a lot of work and dedication etc. I'm sure it really sucks some days... to keep plodding along.. but he's self disciplined and strong.
But that's his life .. for like the past 30 years.. like many who work in weird stuff where it's not staff and steady.. he made it work for him. Working freelance or per diem is the same thing in some ways.. ( like what I did ). But thank goodness I got a pension coming and had health insurance and so on. Only the unions for actors, crew, musicians, directors, cameramen, all those people... only getting together as freelance workers were they able to get some benefits like that. When you're young that doesnt matter much.. but when you get over 20 years old and get married and stuff .. then it matters.
Unfortunately the word " union " is generic and misunderstood depending on where it is applied. I have no interest in making those distinctions anymore to anyone. I hope the young people have the balls to speak out about what they have inherited. and do a good job.
Here is an example of a simple and effective well thought out first post by a Member that I consider gets a response ( which I gave him)
In its entirety.:
How can I limit the area where I apply the ultra key. I have a desk in front of a green screen. Some of my ultra key effects are casting strange colors on the desk (which is shiny). Is there a way to limit the areas of the screen where the ultra key is applied?
See how easy it is not to be lazy.
