Thanks.  Mine apologies also.  Maybe I was up too late last night.

And I am open about this.

Note I linked from my web page (http://coolpagehelp.com/developer4.html) to
some of those other opinions and I think from those links you can
eventually reach the quote you posted in this thread.

I just think the typography and useability experts are to some extent
contradicting themselves (as I point out in a revised version of my page to
go live later today).

Typography comes from a background of at least 600 dpi resolution, and more
realistically double that (Linotype) or metal or the new variable size dot
lasers.  I know something about this because I was one the first people in
the flegling PC publishing revolution back in mid-80s (see
http://coolpagehelp.com/developer.html).  BTW, my full signature:
