Could you please delete the enormous gap you left between the end of your quote and the end of your post. Makes it extremely difficult to scroll.
Here are some screenshots of my post as viewed by IE6 on Windows XP.

My https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=156404#post156404 seems to have neither a large gap nor multiple large gaps. Could you give directions to where in the post you specifically see a gap, and/or post screenshots? Could you also say what browser software you are using?

I agree with zooby, your posts are quite a challenge to read.

You might consider using a colour other than 'grey' (if you take a look using Netscape rather than IE you'll see it can make a difference).

Also, you seem to be fond of lots of blank lines; [ QUOTE ] already adds a blank line, both before and after; you seem to add even more.
 
Chris's postings are abominations to any decent sense of layout aesthetics

Zoobyshoe said, regarding one post in particular, that there was a "gap ... between the end of [the] quote and the end of [the] post" which made it "difficult to scroll."He mentioned nothing about my posts being a challenge to read.
