I am very happy to announce three changes today to the LUGNET News web interface: Fixed-width font now used for plain-text messages. Once upon a time, when LUGNET first served up messages via the web, messages were displayed in a fixed-width font. (...)

If you don't have alternative flash solutions there's a trick, put a small piece a transparent (Scotch) tape over the flash lens, it acts as a little diffuser and cost ~$0.000001.
