that's not really rhetorical... not everyone knows why we have the 
color scheme we do... and yes, it's because it's easier to read than

btw, i like the stats approach... it's just how i process information... 
the user info is also good (but doesn't mean, IMO, that you need to 
cut the other stuff)...
