Okay, first, you're misquoting, by pulling stuff out of the .sig and quoting it as if it were part of the main text. Please don't. See that little "-- "? That's a SEPARATOR. > Who/what is Tufte? An author. He makes a lot of compelling arguments about how to present information, and how not to present it. > If white backgrounds offer glare then > how come *everyone* uses it? First, they don't. Many use an off-white, or some other 'neutral' color. Second, conveying information is not the primary purpose of a great many websites. Making money is. Third, I suspect a great many people do not sit in darkened rooms with large monitors; an all-white page is most likely okay when viewed in a well-lit room. -- This is the sig. Quote me differently.
