No one forces you to pay attention to such ratings.

It won't show very well if the user has a bright red background, overruling the document settings. And certain groups of colour blind people won't see red text very well, if at all. As far as I know, you cannot switch the <font color = '...'> off in Netscape 2.0. So while you get more attention from most of your customers, for some the message gets complete lost. Abigail
