Wow, green on green is even worse than red on green, which I also didn't read. Break up your quote boxes by opening and closing quote tags if you want to refer to individual points, like I do here:

You can change skin/appearance of TFP in the box at the extreme lower left corner of the page.

Jinn, you missed the point of the embiggening, which was not that I was special. The point, and reason for the embiggening, (sorry Xerxys, I kind of like the word) was to draw attention to percy's post, which was actually ON TOPIC after many of the others went off hither, thither, and yon. I'm certainly not the only one on this forum that is annoyed by the idea of the wandering thread. And while I will grant that the red was perhaps overly embiggened, (I'll edit to tone it down a notch) there was no bold of any size or color anywhere in my post. My "satisfaction" with the answers had nothing to do with it. I hardly think that it is unreasonable to ask that posters stay reasonably close to the topic of the thread. Isn't that why we give a title to the thread in the first place?
