Since the various ASFN presidential candidates have failed to push aggressively on this matter, time for a public referendum.

We were told it was an executive decree -- a 'design decision' to eliminate any way to distinguish links in text -- no color offset, no underline. As a result, people now have to state that there is a link, more burden on the writing masses, or readers just guess. This is Deregulation at its worst, and a sign of the growing distance between our insulated self-appointed elitist officials and the increasingly ergonomically-deprived members.

Vexation without representation? I encourage all ASFNers to vote on a ballot referendum.

I can't help but detect a slight bias in the way the questions in the poll are phrased. Hope this doesn't give to big a slant to the link marking minority so that the silent non link loving majority decide not to bother voting. :)

Vegas, baby, yeah!
I demand that my links be highlighted, in a different color, underlined, and have flashy blinky lights put around them.

Having the mouse automatically click on them would be a bonus.

:D

Ahh, I thought I had fouled up my settings somehow. I didn't know they were removed on purpose. I definitely miss the underlined links.
