Hello Todd,
I thought the exclamation point was a good idea. This little circle is just
too darn small to see especially by looking at it from a laptop. How about
some kind of a small graphic like a red star?

No red stars, please. The red star is one of the signs of evil walking the face
of the earth.

I did a quick font test yesterday and noticed that the exclamation point in
Arial & Verdana displays double-weight when put inside of <B></B>, but that
the degree symbol in same fonts doesn't get any bolder (at those small point
sizes).
The thin exclamation points worked out better when there could be a long
string of them (like 3 or 4 or 5) on Friday, but when there's only 1 or 2,
it doesn't stand out much -- BUT if it's boldfaced, it works.
Anyone else having trouble seeing the little circles?

Text characters have the distinct advantage over images here that they can
scale with the personal font-size settings that someone might have -- for
example if someone makes their base font size larger for a really big
screen, or if they have reduced eyesight.

FWIW, I don't have a strong objection to the exclamation point.
