[Elecraft] Make this email list more manageable - a forum instead?

If you have no vision, reading text emails is a lot easier than having 
to mouse around in a forum. I occasionally get an email that my wife 
says is blue print on a beautiful forest green background.  I have no 
color vision and I can't read it, no contrast. The color schemes often 
used in forums regularly provide little or no contrast for me.

The monochrome option for the P3 waterfall makes a huge positive 
difference for me, the one in color is unreadable.  Sometimes simple is 
the best answer.
