OT - changing my posting style.

I've had +/- feedback on the "story" portion of my posts and the red font. With all the feedback, I have decided to compromise:


I can keep the facts clean, concise, and conventionally colored, then I can write the "color" with the red font. This will help the readers sort out which part they want to skip over.

Black font is all I care about after the important stuff: punctuation and spelling. You got that covered Rich!

Thank you I enjoy reading your posts and I enjoy your writing style but the red font made it so hard for me to read. I'm blind in one eye and can't see to good out the other eye. So I need all the help I can get when it comes to being able to read the tiny font to begin with.

This could make things better... or worse. It's worth a try.

Thanks Rich !!! That is very helpful and you even posted in a manner that my old a$$ can understand how to change that. Things like this is why I like your posts. You put things in such a way even Special Ed (me)can understand the point you are trying to convey.

I would rep ya but I was told to "pass it around." I know that sounds like something you would hear at a party in the 70's ...

Glad you got rid of the red font Rich. That was hard to read for me. Plus my close up reading is getting worse.

I know the guy who owns half the rights to the Bogart name and likeness. The family owns the other half.

His son is going to begin hosting an annual Bogart Film Festival down in Key Largo this next year. Too far for me to go, but it might be a hoot! See:

OK, enough off-topic........

I don't care how you post. I liked the red font cause I didn't have to look at the post for your name. However it seems like the old farts can't read it.
JUST BE YOURSELF. (If I was on the computer that last part would have been red)
