I read your post and it was quite good. I hardly hate to diminish it with a simple matter such as this, but would you kindly post your messages in black, not in blue.
If everyone were to start posting in multi color (throwing in smily faces even, arrggghh) this board will get real messed up and hard to read. You know, like those kiddie boards.
Thanks.

I do use mutliple colors. I know some folks don't like it. I generally do it when I know I'm going to be copying a lot from the orginal text. I find it desirable to make my comments right next to the comments I'm responding to.
Take a look at that post again. In that instance I used one color for my response, for the most part. At a glance it makes it much more difficult to distinguish between my comments and the original text, even though I used quotes extensively.
The post you addressed should have been written in black, since I didn't follow the model I had intended to from the start. If everyone were to start posting in multi color (throwing in smily faces even, arrggghh) this board will get real messed up and hard to read. Yes, I suppose that's somewhat true. Then again, utilizing different colors can actually make posts much easier to follow.
At times I will use multiple colors and other times I'll use all black. I don't mind your raising the issue. It's actually a debate I have with myself too. Thanks.
