Oh please FUCK OFF!!!  12 years, 13 years, 14 years, awhile ago!  Why are
you wasting our time on this nonsense???  "Computer Graphics, Principles &
Practice," 2nd. ed, 1990.  ISBN 0-201-12110-7.   Acquired my copy at Cornell
U., spring semester 1991.  NO GODDAMN TEXTURE MAPPING TREATISES.  In those
days, you pulled your "advanced" papers on texture mapping, and unless you
owned very expensive 3D HW you implemented them by hand.  PITA.  Never
bothered.  Still can't stand texture mapping to this day.  What a bunch of
inelegant ugly flat looking crap!

Look at what the *original* title of the thread was.  Consider where you've
*taken* it.  *What* is your fucking point???  Your point was, and is, and
will continue to be... ***ME!!!***

I give up!!!  You have won!!!  I am driven screaming from the FUCKING
C.G.D.* NEWSGROUPS, NOT TO RETURN FOR QUITE SOME TIME!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGHGHGHH!!!!

Wouldn't be the first time, either.  Probably not the last.  Hard for their
founder to stay away forever.  In the meantime, we will be MUTUALLY THANKFUL
for the absence!
