Justin,

While I do understand his point, on the broader scheme -- being negative hovers 
(for which I agree) -- where I have issues is the underlining link text being 
"obtrusive." I have problems with that. Not aesthetically (they are somewhat 
unflattering looking), rather functionally. It's not regular text. It's a link. 
And does something different than regular text. It goes somewhere else. And 
changing a links colour isn't enough in my mind. Another cue is needed. An 
underline is brilliant. Is that not the point? 

I don't know. Of course it's a preference. A preference I believe that is 
benefitted by the underline. And not the default link underline, but the 
removed underline and the added border on the bottom of a link. I think that 
solves the reading issue (as best as possible), as a border is set lower than a 
link underline, less opportunity for the underline to meddle (visually) with 
the word. And given that fact wouldn't it help with a persons access to the 
content?

Just some more of my thoughts...

Johnny
