Our Man gets his crayons out

Eagle-eyed readers may notice Our Man has been messing, ever so slightly, with the colour scheme. It has always been Our Man's intention to give this site the feel of a newspaper, and he wants you to go away with the feeling of newsprint being smeared on your fingers. But more than that, Our Man has a soft spot for all the loons who used to write in to the editor. The very loony used red ink, but the truly deranged used green. For now, all comments and links in the copy and sidebars will be in red ink (which reverts to a slightly less garish cyan when you click on them) and Our Man reserves the right to splash green ink all over the copy whenever he feels like it. Whaddaya think? Toldya he was gonna get all arty on you.

Here comes the loons. Oh! I am the one used to write to the editor in red ink back in the states. 9/11 was an inside you know.

Welcome, fellow loon. You are in good company here. Wish Our Man could make the comments here all multicoloured, but he does not have the technology.
