"Forged From Field" ? Am I supposed to shut up and go away after
such a remark? "foreged"? Anti-spammed, yes. But "forged"?

The spirit of this group amazes me. Anger. Attacking trivia.
What's going on? This would be a place for a psychologist to study.

The unexpected intrusion of Windows XP into the appearance of
a web site is worth knowing about. Now you know.

And, obviously, it *was* unexpected or someone would have warned
me about it as a cause of my problem.

Have *fun* kids,

Someone might have, if you had posted the requested screenshot.

Oh, ok. I am learning. This is the age of Television. No longer the age of
Radio and Reading. Seriously, I do some writing and this is not trivial.

Simply stating "there is no color" is not enough. The words cannot be
visualized by people raised on TV. The imagination exercised by
reading is lacking today. --- but there's Harry Potter coming to the
rescue -- at least for some kids who read and don't just go to the movies.

And: "there is no color" depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

My book uses a lot of illustrations for just this reason, as do the two short
"My Cat" stories. All at: http://frontal-lobe.info

Oh, come to think, that must be a forgery.

You could have at least answered my first question I've posted in
another reply: "Do you observe the 'missing' colors only on that
page of yours using those browsers?" Also, you've repeated "no *bg*
colors" quite a few times which initially led me to think you see
your customized text colors, just not the background ones.

Are you saying everyone who replied to you in this thread is young? I've
been retired for seven years.

Like everyone else, I looked at your page and saw colors all over the
place, in several browsers. A simple screenshot would have shown us all
there was some messed up setting on your computer. Heck, even you
looking using another computer would have proved that.
