That's the silliest thing I've ever seen. There's absolutely no need for
mirror image.

And it's all do-able within one workday. You're gilding the lily, going
for a sinecure. That's why we have such a high cost of living - guys
like you.

Harumph!

MY way is under 10 seconds. AND, I can send the lines as toolpaths directly
to my Router, Engraver or Vinyl plotter without exploding or nuthin' !

Oh, and if I spelled it wrong, Its STILL text. Just highlight and retype.
Awesum !

Good one Harvey, just to make me go to the dictunary

(from Cambridge International Dictionary of English)

sinecure
noun
a position which involves little work, but for which the person is paid

I still don't know if it's a complement or if your insulting this Gentleman.

Harvey can't insult me since I refuse to inyerpret any comment as an insult.
I've received jealous outbursts and understated compliments. Even some of
those say the opposite of what you mean things that have a single word
description in Harvey's vocabulary. I am perplexed about bring called a
Gentleman, with a capital "G" even. That's never happened before.

So you could cut out my linoleum block maybe?
