Didn't know!

That article was stored in my hard drive- I suppose that when it was copied and pasted to this forum the typeface changes. That also seems to happen when I compose my posts in "word" and then copied and pasted. Those posts were originally typed in "Times New Roman" Sample:: Specimen - bold version or This or Bold.

This seems to be the default setting on this site.

I am sorry that you find some of my posts "tiering and tiresome"- I know you had alluded to this matter before but you were not specific- I think you wrote something like "bad plan". I though you were refereeing to the content.

Well- I am a PHOTOgrapher not a TYPEographer but in any case, please suggest a typeface that you prefer and I will be more diligent and ACCOMMODATING in future !

I have not received any other complaints regarding the bold type- I though upper case letters connoted "SHOUTING" in matters of INTERNET protocols. There are, however, have been complaints regarding the length of some of my posts but most folks have sent me good comments on the comprehensive nature of my contributions. I suppose the majority wins.

For anyone who has been inconvenienced by my reckless choices of typography please accept my sincerest apologies. I hope the content of theses articles and posts have proved to be somewhat compensatory for any real or imagined difficulties in reading.

I do consider myself a good communicator but it's a good thing theses forums are not in telephony mode. I have a composite accent: There is Brooklyn and then 1 year of army train in the south have left me with certain words and phrases that are permanently embedded in my brain. Now I live in Canada. In conclusion- I talk funny. At least when I write I can edit out some of theses foibles and bleep out the cussing. before I hit the post button.

Sooo... if anyone wants to correct my spelling, grammar, style, phrasing or anything else, please feel free to do so.

I know that bad typography may be hard to read but it ain't all that easy to write detailed and comprehensive articles either- so y'all take them for what they are worth. I accept the old adage "It's not what you say it's how you say it". Now I'll have to augment that "It's not what you say but it's how you format it". OK- I can live with that.
