Subject: Text Color Test

You guys let me know which of the following is preferable to you as the text color in the message bodies. I realize that reading off of a black background is "different" and takes some getting used to, but I also think you will find, in time, that it actually produces alot less eye strain, especially for those of us who read late into the night sometimes.

Another alternative is to simply left click and highlight the text you want to read, and that will put it into your browsers default colors so that the text areas appear the same colors as you are used to reading.

But how do you "test" one of these nuggets to be sure it's genuine? Acid tests, modern electronic testers, or even a more sophisticated specific gravity test will do absolutely NOTHING to tell you whether a nugget is real or man-made. At best, it will only give you an idea as to the actual gold content of the metal in the "nugget". It takes a much more complicated proceedure and equipment to test the genuine status of a gold nugget, methods that are not generally available to the general public at anything close to a reasonable cost. In most cases, the personal knowledge of the collector or dealer will go farther in determining the genuine CHARACTERISTICS of a natural nugget than most so-called "scientific" testing methods. After several years of handling genuine natural gold, you just develop a certain intuition about certain things to look for..... surface texture, general shape, mass to weight, traces of the golds original martix, wear patterns, color, and so forth.
