RTev (& Jeff and Bryan, if you're there),

These problems were solved years ago.

There's a reason all newspapers have the same basic format.

All of the papers knew how to solve readability problems when they went online, because the issues of readability, white space and basic user interface are the same on paper as on screen.

These problems were solved years ago by other people, and by Jeff & Brad in 1995-1996.

See, e.g.,

The Washington Post
washingtonpost.com

The New York Times
nytimes.com

The Boston Globe
boston.com

The Cleveland Plain Dealer
cleveland.com

The San Francisco Chronicle
sfgate.com

The Birmingham News
al.com

The Houston Chronicle
chron.com

All are perfectly capable of bombarding me with advertisements while still giving me readable material.

White space, column width, colors and layout.

These problems were solved years ago.

Regards,

Caroline
