Bright And Colored Fonts - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop a note about writing in bright colored and HUGE fonts.

I think I'm like many other people on the board; I have limited time to read posts (as much as I enjoy it). The big font and colors make it much harder to read.

I'll admit...I've got ADD...and the bright colors distract me and add to the reading difficulty...that or the fact that I stare at a computer screen 8 hours a day.

So I formally ask all of you to stick with the regular size 2 Black fonts for most things. A larger size or colored font for special emphasis is fine, but it really loses its power if overused.

Thank you for your understanding.
