&gt;  How readable are the pages on *your* system with *your* browser?
&gt;Are they too dark?  Do they make reading difficult?

The site works fine for me, except for two trivial things; on 256-color 
mode, the [main page] background gets a little grainy, but not so much 
that it keeps the user from reading the text. It looks superb on 
thousands/millions.

It would also be nice if you could change the index page so that the 
anchor-references (a href=index.html#join) didn't involve index.html (and 
thus just: a href=#join). That way, if people like me go to the URL 
(<A  HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/~petidomo/lists/mud-dev/">http://www.kanga.nu/~petidomo/lists/mud-dev/</A>), they don't have to load 
the page all over again 
(<A  HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/~petidomo/lists/mud-dev/index.html">http://www.kanga.nu/~petidomo/lists/mud-dev/index.html</A>) when they want 
to jump around w/bookmarks.

For what it's worth, I'm on a PowerCenter Pro 210 (Mac clone); tested the 
page on Communicator Pro 4.0, 800x600 res - no size problems. Modem @ 
33.6 =).

Hope that helps in some derranged form; (goes back to passive reading) :)
