Richard.

I was prompted by this thread to have a look at your web pages.  I'm
afraid I have to agree that your pages are a pain in the eye to read.
All the little wavelets/sharksfins/whatever, are very distracting on
just about every line on the page.

If you worked in TV you must know that communicating is everything.

The message you are communicating her is "You are going to have to
slow down your reading rate and squint a lot to read my pages".

I didn't bother.  Typing this a few minutes later, I can recall
nothing at all on that page or your site

And my IEX and monitor - not to mention my eyes - are all tuned
perfectly.

Sorry.

Watermarks are for security.

If you feel you need security on your pages, I strongly suggest you
get it in some other less visually offensive way.
