Uhhhmm, yes that was very offensive (I can't speak for Brenda) but
definitely offensive...

But only between the
It's not just the titles that are awkward
and the
a little ridiculous

So I wouldn't take it personally.

&gt; &gt; &gt; Too big? Which resolution do you use? 300x200? Ok, with 1920x1200 \

&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; This is a compromise between too big and including people which use<br>
&gt; &gt; too high resolution. If you have this big resolution, and you don&#39;t<br>
&gt; &gt; have any problems on other web pages, you don&#39;t have a problem \
here,<br> &gt; &gt; right?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Adjusting the font size is easy (ctrl-+), except if you use IE (you<br>
&gt; &gt; have to go on View -&gt; Text size -&gt; Largest if you use IE).<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Some people use special glasses when they use the computer... you<br>
&gt; &gt; cannot expect this wiki to use 24pt text. People like to see more than<br>
&gt; &gt; just a few words at a time. I want to see the whole page without<br>
&gt; &gt; horizontal scrolling and the whole index table without vertical<br>
&gt; &gt; scrolling. I think I am not the only one.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I do not have larger resolution that 800x600 here (very little<br>
&gt; &gt; screen), and really hate too large fonts.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; That is just my opinion.<br>
