Rage against the machine
In honor of Denver I'm going blue.
Or maybe red.
Alsorts of obnoxious colors and fonts are available to us.
Or for you overseas souls, you can use different colours.
Any colour but black for this cowboy.
After all, if we aren't allowed to use different colers, than how come we got all these choices?
And if they allow nimrods like ryanf and Botto to post, then they should accept the rest of us, in spite of age or color.
I think that's it.

I have a real beef with this and will explain it in detail in the following paragraphs, written in bold white.
This is a secret message.

I just found out that if you post in white is really is possible for another poster to read what you've said.
And furthermore, I mean dang it, running off Denver is like trapping and then skinning the Easter Bunny.

Some favorite R.A.T.M. imagery included above. What a cool band, they were fantastic at Woodstock '99 just before the real headliner acts went onstage.

Beverly, just squint a little bit and you'll see it. Or copy and paste it into MS Word if that's easier.

Another R.A.T.M. graphic. Note juxtaposed blue/red to create movement

I don't care what color the print is, it's all fine with me. It's the message that counts.
With the really light print - just highlight for easy reading.

Louis, perhaps the BikeForums.net staff can be persuaded to make black the default background color with white font since it uses less electricity. This is similar to the efforts suggested by the Blackle folks.

Here is additional detail on the Blackle notion of saving electrical energy and it still uses Google for the actual search capability.

A good portion of this post had some of the most intelligent thoughts I've seen here in a long time.....................Then there were the visable portions.
Oh, by the way, welcome back Tom.
