Aaron, I've been following the forum bashing messages and since I run 
a forum (like quite a few other CoCo admins), I was wondering which 
of the current green-background forums out there you were calling 
"horrible"?   Just curious.  I know of a few green blogs/forums and 
they look ok to me because the text and color theme is easy on the eyes.

And if I may comment about your statement about color having no place 
in a discussion list or forum.. are you saying that all backgrounds 
should be bright white and possibly hard on the eyes after long 
viewing periods, or perhaps black background with white text which 
can also be painful to some, or perhaps would a smooth yellow 
background work for you?

Should we go back to b/w TVs ?   :)
