John, I would recommend on the “pings” links page that when a Freeper sets it to “Brevity” that there be a bit more space between posts. They seem to run together (at least on Firefox) which makes it harder to read.
Safari seems to present an entirely different issue. For some reason when you go to “pings” using Safari the font size increases to somewhere around 6.
I agree with the need for a bit more white space between listings in the brief version of our comments page. Would be very helpful.
What about the idea of two breaking news sidebars, one for domestic and one for international? Bad idea?
