So, the second time I see such graphics, I almost automatically skip over such posts and don't read them. For this reader, your message goes a-begging.

That's my point. Icons make posters more easily identifiable, and one can decide much more quickly whether or not one is interested in reading a post.

Folks have different tastes at FR. Some don't like ping lists. I'm on dozens. Some like Barf Alerts. I never click. Some like live and daily threads. I avoid them. Some don't like icons, some do. We'll all survive, I suspect.

Did you say something?

I find I like the Cat's postings, so when skimming a long thread, skipping many posts, I appreciate the mark on his posts, and usually read them. In general, a bit of graphical and layout diversity in postings, characteristic to the poster, is good, in my book.

And his posts format fine for me - no narrow text problem here.

Until now, that is. This is the first time I recall replying to Sabertooth. The copy of his post that is right below the "Your Reply" box that I am typing in to right now, the copy that is inside a box entitled "In the General Interest (Chat) forum, on a thread titled Blue Apples, privacy, and Web Bugs at FR, Sabertooth wrote:", this copy overflows its box by about 12 characters beyond the right border of the box.

Try replying to yourself, Sabertooth. Perhaps you will see it too. I am on a Mozilla Firebird 0.7 (Linux), with a pretty wide screen.

Otherwise ... nice cat.
