Can somebody explain why the online edition of the New-Dispatch displays the obituaries in two different font sizes?

They are probably using some sort of front end tool like Microsoft FrontPage, etc. The software package "remembers" the last font size used in that particular frame. This is simply sloppy work brought on by a lack of employees to edit the text writer. |

Basically, it's because the online ND is a POS. I still read it all the time - but you just have to accept it for what it is, warts n' all.
Now - can you explain what an "Obituaty" is? lol |

Tim's good for that.   Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind~Dr. Suess

Good thing Roger isn't around anymore to read you say that. He was our resident Grammar Nazi!
