I agree with the OP.

But the large font stuff in this thread is hilarious. Even people whose monitors passerby can’t see are at risk for LOL seizures trying to hold them back.

By the way - In all likelihood, your boss is not a moron. He knows how to read, and he knows that Straight Dope Message Board is not a legitimate function of your employment. It doesn’t mattter if a large, colored font catches his eye, because he already _knows_ you’re goofing off.

When organizing a campaign to unionize your office, stealth is of the utmost importance!

Try to get as many cards as possible signed before the employer is even aware of your organizing efforts.

"Okay, Arsehole… a little hypnotherapy will clear those massive fonts right up. I’m going to count backwards from ten, and with every count you’ll feel yourself getting more relaxed.
