People... this is the WRONG way to ask for help

The majority of people I deal and work with regarding artwork are awesome and amazing.

Then... I get something like below every so often.

Ah well... 'dems da breaks.

To: Mr. Do
From: [redacted, to spare the less fortunate]

Subject: Why is the Atari Star Wars arcade MAME art including marquee and control panel while...

Body: every other title does not?! Inconsistency is always a sign of sloppiness. Sure somebody wanted that but it's awful because it doesn't fit with the rest.
Personally just the screen with bezel art is preferable since the pc keyboard/trackpad/mouse is today's comprehensive controls.

Does this exist? Cropped the (partial) full front but don't feel like figuring out all the X, Y coordinate changes..

Thanks

-----------------------------------------

Seriously, WTF?

-- I think this art sucks
-- And you're lazy [correction: sloppy]
-- So I fixed it to my liking
-- But I don't know how to make it work now
-- Can you help me?

Just wait until he finds all of the other titles that offer multiple ways to view the game.
Space Invaders is going make his head explode.
Tron will be an earth extinction event.

Gets better.

I guess he assumes I didn't see the first email.

Copy/Paste... Sent the exact message again about an hour ago.

I'll wait three more times before I block him (assuming it's a him). Let's see if the message changes any first.
