Please.

Not that I need you to - I get two, sometimes even three hits a day.

Spoof news stories, light-hearted articles on sport, TV and movies and
the occasional impassioned screed on the witlessness of Sue Barker.

Debate and comments welcome...

I did. What the heck is clever about building an ordinary website in
Macromedia Flash, with fonts so small no-one can read it? One of the
great things about Web technology is that if people set their fonts too
small you can fix things in your browser so that the site is still
readable, but not with Flash.

For every really clever bit of idiot-proof design, there's an idiot who's
got more idiot-power than the designer ever thought of...

        Morning had broken, and we had run out of gas for the welding torch.

I don't know Si, I didn't have any trouble reading the font on Amatuer
Scribe's site despite Flash; it was plenty big.
Maybe you'd like to help him redo everything in black with light green
print so that its hard to read regardless of size. Yes, I clicked your
link too. ;-)
Anyway I thought Amateur Scribe was funny, pithy, even.
So there.

If you don't like my stylesheet, you can use your own. That's what
stylesheets are all about, after all!

Luckily this google groups user buried enough context in his reply to 
enable me to know what he's talking about. Contextual follow-up material 
is rare in those too lazy to use a proper newsclient.
