I can see the value in stompies having an easily accessible email list, but otherwise I don't think it's necessary.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, in general I'm not thrilled with a search by email function for the board as a whole, but that's prolly just me flailing about. Personal thing, I have my "real" address up here because I trust the Buffistas with it, but dunno if I would want it searchable. Contradictory I know, because it's logged-in-users anyway, but still, that's my opinion for what it's worth.
I do think it would be nice to offer stylesheets such that we were more accessible, but I think it would be fine to manage it within a few options, rather than making it wide open. We could cover text-only, work-friendly, large fonts, etc. and cover our bases nicely, I think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All I personally want to do is be able to change the damn font.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To what, DX?
If we go the pre-packaged stylesheet, I figure
- large fonts
- stealth (no graphics, less colour)
- no whitefont
- small fonts
are a good place to start. Any other ideas? Assuming, of course, if that's the way we go.

I want to be able to specify the typeface to be something other than Verdana. Either that, or not have it specify any typeface at all, so that my browser's default can kick in.

Maybe that could be a stylesheet option -- minimal? I'm not sure how much can be stripped without breaking the presentation, though. Maybe just the font.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The font for everything, or just the posts? If we limit the font changing ability to just the text of the posts, that won't break any of the presentation.

I'd rather change it all. I'm not sure it would be a problem. The only place it could really break anything is in the left column, and only if it were really a lot wider than Verdana. And nothing's wider than Verdana.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
No how. Machines just got workings, and they talk to me. Kaylee, 'Serenity'
This came up in the RQG. The first two words should be "Know how."

No they're not, beathen. That's how it is in the script.
