Increase the size of your Attachments

An example might be:

Gary, you *#$%, why do you use that tiny font size, that must be smaller then your %!@#ing pea brain!!!!

This is just an example, I find Gary to be nice guy.

Many people, at one time or another (myself included) do it, but I'm never proud of it afterwards.

I hope you note that due to coomplaints by folk with eye problems I now opt for "size large".

Yes, and thanks, Gary.

People here at work were wondering why I had to put my mug two inches from my monitor to read your posts!

Thanks again.

Forget trying to explain - if Hoek was any more stupid he'd have to be watered twice a week.

Troll is a much more common word these days. In fact I hadn't read "flamebait" for over a year, IDTS anyway.
