Did I waste five points AGAIN?

Question

Sometimes I just can't help myself.

If I could give everyone I know 1,000 points, I would.

I think my major advantage is that I started here when Yahoo! Answers was pretty new and there were not that many people answering questions.

But antoni, when I get to 100,000 points, I'm cashing them in for a trip down there to see you.

How do you think OMG paid for his trip around the world?

Rocketmaniac - if you waste enough time here, you too can reach Level 7 and reap all the benefits. Just think - you're two points closer already!

devlin_mr - I had a Latin teacher named Mr. Devlin and if he were not dead, it might be you, so I'm glad you picked up two points just by answering my stupid question.

Flying Falcon - if nobody else outright asks for the ten points, I'll keep you in mind, but only if you add to your answer saying, "Thanks."

ay.en.en.ay - if you get one best answer, you get to blow 5 points on stupid questions twice. But you're right, also.

dinoguy - you get it.

Kat - OMG is a regular here who is gone for a while as he tours the world with his wife and their two cameras. Haha! I'll bet you thought I was going to say children, didn't you? In his absence, though, at least once a day someone will post a question taking his name in vain, like, "OMG!!! How do I turn a picture into one with mostly black and white but only one color?"

antoni - this computer comes in handy on cold winter nights. So would a trip to Australia, though.

Nobody - I'm not sweatin' it!!!

Teef - "dream on" and don't worry about me, but I got you covered.

Ara - OMG should be somewhere south of Vietnam by now, headed for placed between there and Australia that I never heard of before.

Jenny - that's a good effort, but (to me) the saturation is over the top. In fact, my son rejected mine as it did not look hazy enough. He wants to make a print that is pretty much true to nature. I do like the clouds in yours as you brought out some nice delicate details, but I think the mountains look more like fresh green moss than rocky moutain tops. It can take forever to get just what you want. You can ALWAYS change something and eventually, you say, "There. That's close enough," and quit for the night. Then you get sucked back into it the next day. And the next. Etc. Thanks, though. I hope you notice this reply.

Answer 1

Hello all. Greetings from Hanoi!
(I occasionally still log in to keep my account active...)

Just to set the record straight, I tried to cash my points in for a round the world ticket but I'm still waiting to hear back from customer support. Their poor response time is very frustrating.

Sam, we're off to Halong bay in 5 minutes but I'll get in touch next week.

Oh, and thanks for the 2 points ;-)

Answer 2

You could have asked how do i make a picture black and white with one colour.

Now that is a waste, not only are the results like MacDonalds three day old fries, they could read the thousands of times its been asked already.

Hold on to your points they will come in handy on those cold winter nights.

yea you're right, thanks for pointing that out, it does look like a green moss in a way lol, i must admit, i probably did use too much saturation, and yes i do notice your reply, so thanks for replying.

Answer 4

well, i dont know how OMG paid for his trip. I don't even know who OMG is. I wonder if cashing points for cash works... :o

Answer 5

My answer is no, 'cause you seem like a generous kind of dude, and everyone who answers this question gets points!
