UFO in Stephenville, Texas

From ABC News (no, not the Weekly World News):

More Than 30 People Insist They Saw a UFO Flying Over Their Town

You have friends who've seen a UFO, don't you? I certainly do. Thus far, only Japan has an official policy for aliens. I get the U.S. would have to get immigration involved. Yipe.

Oh, thank you Setissma: how to avoid having your f-list think thoughts of black death at you.

Setissma gives advice on how to not drive your flist and community members crazy with your aqua fonts and not-so-cool-as-you-think custom layouts.

I admit, when I see a community post in a fancy font with pretty, pretty colors, I automatically don't read it. It's the skim signal.

I'm biased. I assume whoever wrote it is a fool, or else very, very young. I assume (probably incorrectly) that their stories are equally immature.

When I go to someone's LJ and their custom layout is unreadable, I will assume they just don't know what they're doing. This doesn't surprise me because I can't do custom layouts. It's easy for me to imagine incompetence in this arena. Most of the time if ?style=mine or ?format=light doesn't work, I just Back-button but every now and then I'll leave a comment to say "Hello. You may not realize this but yellow in a 4 pt font is hard to read. You might want to fix that."

Most people have been nice about it, though I've never seen the layout change, largely because I never go back.
