Quick rule: DO NOT USE THEM TO MARK TEXT unless there is a very strong reason to do so. This means do not use to quote other messages.

Reason 1:

We had someone politely request "(can someone tell me if there is a way to change the colored texts in the discussion to black? My vision requires me to cut and paste it all into word just to read it)"

To which members replied using colour - guess what, this colour would be lost, and so the peson to whom you're replying won't understand a thing you wrote.

Reason 2:

We have a couple of colour schemes. Change over to the plain white scheme and your lovely yellow writing can't be read, whilst other colours just look awful.

Solution:

We have the [quote][/quote] paring which also indents the text and draws a line above and below. Usable in any colour scheme, black and white, and is no more complex that using the colour tags.

Sorry, but you're dealing with a guy who works for a blindness agency and deals with this all the time. And when a member specifically asks for assistance, it would be nice to show some.

I'm writing off list to "fileg" on how to read the posts without colour.
