I guess we gave up on inline replying long ago, oh well. Might I suggest some new nomenclature for the new colors? Something we need to think about when creating a name standard to call the new colors is that the name needs to be as short as (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

I can't say I'm all that worried about the new colors. The change in brown concerns me more than the greys, but for the most part I'll make do and move on.

Nathan, your loyalty is admirable and stupid as well. It also has an almost german quality. As a German I appreciate that. But I'm afraid it won't do you any good.
