With that in mind, he grades out as simply above average on the base paths. Perhaps, with maturation, he will excel.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-90957909334481655562014-03-15T18:33:25.136-04:002014-03-15T18:33:25.136-04:00I find it very interesting, thanks for the comment...I find it very interesting, thanks for the commentary. However, I believe you have discounted one big component of his value as a pinch runner. That has to count for some added runs.

We have explored ways in the past to improve the experience, but have found that there are some programming artifacts that require going to about 200 posts individually to correct. Those pages are still frequently viewed and the time investment in making sure those older pages still look sharp is too much for us to currently handle.<br /><br />I would suggest using a mobile app to view the Depot. We are able to strip down the colors for that and it has helped readers with similar eye strain to read our site.<br /><br />Thanks.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-5917644769086668722014-03-12T22:17:24.204-04:002014-03-12T22:17:24.204-04:00I want to read your stuff, I really do, but you ne...I want to read your stuff, I really do, but you need to change your layout. White text and a black background is a terrible choice for a web-page, and halfway through the third paragraph I start getting a headache trying to read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
