Please! Have mercy on those of us with graphical browsers on monochrome
screens! :-) I look at "http://www.vtw.org"; and all I can read are the
headings. All the links are invisible. I don't want to have to resort to
reading the source or using a text-based browser. The web is already
prejudiced enough against the colour-challenged without this (there are many
pages already that come out completely black, and you get told to do things
like "click on the pink region" - sheesh!).
I suspect I'd support the goal trying to be achieved (cumbersome to find out
for sure when the material is presented in a fashion that makes it difficult
for me to view), it's just this action which seems apparently harmless to
most is not as harmless as it seems.
That said, if anybody can tell me how to get netscape to ignore *all* text
colour directives, I'd be much happier about the whole thing. :-)
