The only exceptions are those boards with a colored background which doesn’t allow certain colors to be read when posted. Other than that, it’s pretty much an ingrained habit to colorize my posts before clicking Submit.

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???

Huh. And as I read your post there, I realize for the first time in about 1.5 years that your name is not **Flam_e_sterette\_X**. Something new every day, or some such stuff.
