RE: more CSS and tables * :-))

When people cut messages could they please ensure that when they do they
atribute the comments to the correct person.

I never made thaose comments.  I believe they were made by Bob.

I do use colour but I do feel that the use of monochrome is neccescary for
people who need it.

I guess you find grayscale (8-bit gray) display also annoying?..
 As about me: I use anti-aliasing to make characters looking better.
FreeType (www.freetype.org) project does wonderful things, 255 shades of
gray
for every renderred glyph...
And, adding subpixel decimation (which required digital LCD screen and RGB
color) can imprrove it even further!
So I can't agree that color is confusing - color makes life better!
