From what I understand, this “grapist” would quote other people’s posts and turn those purple, and I’m not doing that! I’m simply following one of my own traditions. On other boards, if I were to post in any color other than purple, people would think I was sick or something! It’s my thing, a signature of sorts. Can’t a girl like purple??? Does that mean I start posting in dingbats? ---

Silliness aside, I agree. I hate having to read non-black fonts on a message board…it’s just too distracting. A goofy thread like this is fun every once in a while, but if you post to a serious thread in a pink or buttercup font, it’s not going to go over very well. And don’t get me started on changing font size. Good grief…I think we should make, say, size 4 the largest possible and lock off the bigger fonts. **Nightwatch Trailer’s** post has been plagarized by **The Plagarist!** ---
