Sickening, isn’t it?

Hey Richard, can I get my fonts for free : )

In the world of retail, we have a technical term for that. We call it ’shoplifting’.

Michael, I can give you your fonts for free, but that cuts your Royalty significantly

> could I try out the font to see if it works?

kegler, you are treading on the edge of trolling. Trying a font is nowhere near to trying a steak.

Maybe we should ask the guy if we could “Try His Money to see if it spends” :-)

You run into this kind of attitude with any kind of graphics. My favorite was, “Can you print me 24 t-shirts and if they sell, we will come back and pay you for these and place a bigger order.”

I am with Chris. Can I try some, please? I am really good at spending it!

Sounds like AIG and the big banks.

Send us some money, and if we like it, we will ask you for an even bigger amount of money.

Very true, you can’t make money on the steak after you eat it ( fecal art doesn’t count - thinking of a story by David Foster Wallce )

I finally looked up the wiki-nition of trolling,
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

I prefer to think of it as inspiring lively on-topic debate.

But it was a merry old troll :-)
