Wow! I feel honored with all the feedback... it's greatly appreciated and I respect the differences in attitudes about something as simple as the color of text on a white background.
(standing) Hi, my name is Tugly, and I'm an old fart... my grandchildren are visiting and I snuck away while the kids are perusing through my PIXAR Blu-ray collection. I have all the PIXAR stuff because some of us old farts like to revisit the inner child that lurks within (in the absence of visiting grandkids). I once had very good near vision, but age and years of staring at pixels on a screen has pretty much ruined that. My laptop shows the red font very well, but I was looking at it on another screen and it was harsh on my eyes. Because of the wide variety of eyes and screens, plus the feedback I've received here and over time... it may very well be time to put away one of my inner-child things - the red font. BUT... you won't be able to pry the Times New Roman font out of my cold, dead, hands: That is something I use in every written communication I make. I can still be me without the red font.
Thank you all!

I'm a young fart too. I'd know very little if it weren't for the old news that taught me, not just here but my whole life. The under 30 generation needs to learn some respect. Not just because you're older but because you're worth listening to and learning from. Thanks for the posts and keep it up.
Tugly, I'll miss the red but ill still look for the name. Your posts are always worth reading.

That is in fact the essence of Tugly's style. Not so apparent in text however, is the fact that his smelly hot air receives names if it meets certain criteria... 
Definitely gives a whole new meaning to Stinky's name origin!!!
Wait, I'm sure I didn't want my tongue out (or mouth open) in this thread - poor choice of emoticons there!!

So... the thread was fading and we went from font to fart - giving the thread a second wind. There's more to this inner-child thing than some might admit. No? Did you snicker?
... it was either this or the Family Guy Fart duel....

Red is better than green or blue I can't see those colors for anything! It's a pain to see how much gas is at a distance when the price is with those stupid green numbers!
Yeah... I bought a gasser jetta... Saving a lot of cash and liking driving a gokart too.... Kinda
