The odds quoted strongly suggest that the vote will be a NO.

Judging by your replies you can obviously read everyone else's posts OK & you don't really need to re-read your own. It's like a deaf person thinking he needs to shout!

Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Does it really matter what font those posting on A/W use - the main thing is they keep on posting, especially contributors like Retlaw who post comments that are worth reading....

Of course it matters, not to me, not to you, not to anyone except Retlaw, we could all choose a different font or colour, the bold black is his choice, that shouldn't be a problem, if what he posts is incorrect then feel free to criticise.

OK - but why try to big-up your post by using a steroidal font ? Rather than what's OK for everyone else.

I could Wherefore art thou Romeo?

or A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse

It don't me any cleverer, and would you want to read it ?

No of course it doesn't make you any more clever...and to be honest I don't think Retlaw wants you to think he is cleverer that anyone on the forum. It is his personal choice to use that font.......it is your personal choice to use whatever font you like.
What it does do, is make his posts stand out. It is a symbol of his uniqueness if you like..we do not all have to be the same.

No it doesn't make you cleverer, but complaining about something so trivial, will that make you cleverer?

I'm as clever as I'm ever gonna be - it's all downhill now! Just don't see why someone thinks he/she has to bold etc. his/her observations. If they are valid they will gain the appropriate respect.

But does it matter? why worry about such a petty item?

I always wondered what the name of his horse was.

Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Never mind the horse, but Romeo where are you? It's Valentine's Day here......ANY Romeo would do - in whatever font he chooses.

(Just don't tell him indoors...).
