@ Steven
Let me oiffer my most profuse apology for clicking Relpy underneath the
masses of posts so far and not searching through more than 48 hours worth
of posts to go back to Timothy's post and have them quoted directly
underneath my reply.
You and I dear sir are not going to agree so lets end it here and stop now.

@ Steven
I wasn't responding to you so it has nothing to do with your comment.
Pardon me, but you replied to my post. Go and read your original, and
you will see underneath your top-posted comments (which violates this
list's rules) my comments are quoted.
You are absolutely correct though that what you were talking about had
nothing to do with my comments. Which is why I asked why you replied
to my post to make them.
With regards to not noticing any difference it
seems to me you didn't
open
the pictures to actually see the difference.
Oh, you've hacked into my computer and can see what I have done can you?
I don't think so.
I assure you, I opened all seven images you have posted so far,
including the three from your laptop which are the ones I'm talking
about. The standard and "modified" laptop images seem pretty similar to
me -- if there is a difference, I can't tell what it is.
Try opening them and notice that the 1st is about
60% white space and no
content while the modified full screen the content actually takes up the
screen real estate as it should.
On your laptop? Are you sure?
As for highjacking, and by extension being rude,
I offered to work with
it
and Timothy replied
"Well, you can get what you need to fiddle with it by just saving the
home
page to your local machine. There is one CSS
file that controls the
styles; edit it and the HTML to taste and *share what you come up with*."
Let me give you a simple analogy that you might understand. I've walked
up to Timothy and begun a new conversation, about the content of the
picture on the front page. "Nice website," I say, "but the picture
doesn't really advertise TDE very well." Only by email, not actual
speech.
At which point you barge in to this thread of the conversation and start
going on about your enormous screen and how the webpage doesn't flow to
use the full width of it, instead of keeping that discussion in the
thread of the conversation where it had already started.
You already had a thread to discuss that issue. Reply to that thread,
not my comments.
[...]
Please don't assume any further replies from
me are directed towards you
unless I open them as I opened this one.
If you reply to an email written by me, you are replying to me.
