Thanks Mark for the feedback. I can plainly see that you did not knowingly choose what I see.
I am running Netscape on a MAC, which might explain somethings, maybe. Both pages that I get from the URL are in very feint "ink", except the links which are the only parts I can read without a big effort. The Typosquatting link is especially readable, but the page title says "Non-Existent Domain" in extremely feint letters, Which also threw me off. There is some other very feint text by the links which I cannot read. So, the LINKS are the only readable stuff on either page, and the rest is in very feint type, which looks like light blue to me, but it is actually too feint to even determine what color it really is. All in all, it is not readable for me, and I cannot figure out why. Is it some "feature" of MSN's invention trying to drive us all into using IE? IE shows it in readable white on black! Is this what you intended? I expect that this uses a NEW MSN feature that Netscape does not implement. I only run IE in dire emergencies, such as this one. And then I turn if back off ASAP. MSN tricks will not convince me to switch;-)... They only convince me more and more that MSN is a Pariah! Hopefully, this kind of result will help train the world to not use MSN "mis-features!" My solution is to not bother with stuff that Netscape cannot show in readable form.
