When I think of quirky conspiracy sites, I picture yellow-on-blue text and bright red text inside a blink element and links at the bottom to lycos and altavista.


This is the example of people trying too hard to make things "scream". Just plain Times New Roman or system font conveys a slightly different form of illiteracy...


I love that use of "legible fonts" are a indicator of illiteracy for you.


You can be the most literate person in the world, but if the way you present yourself is a bunch of flashing pink and purple Times New Roman on a lime green background, I'm going to assume you have nothing useful to tell me. There are a whole lotta legible fonts you can use that show you give a tiny fuck about how you come off to other people.
