    If that makes you happy you should know that the last house we owned I painted my office the exact same shade of orange as the site, not by accident, I actually matched the colour of paint to the CodeProject site colour. It actually was the best colour I could have chosen because we were living just off the Alaska highway, way up north and it was well below freezing most of the year and that office really warmed me up while I was coding away furiously all winter.

      Well that explains why NASA is flinging a perfectly good lightsaber into space. It was just a warmup to this.;)

        I just found out that my folks are in the middle of a repainting project. Their kitchen is a combination beige/in-your-face orange. The only thing missing is a narrow green stripe a couple of inches from the ceiling. I'll bet it looks closer to this site than CP's own offices. If this thing does end up with a green stripe, I swear I'm gonna find somebody (more artistically inclined than myself) to sneak in when they're away and paint Bob in a corner.

                      perhaps if you put it that way there might be a problem... but if you simply declare Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Niner-Niner-Zero-Zero as being a trademark of CP, anyone caught abbreviating it also falls into legal issues. :rolleyes:
