[i]Sorry, it's my habit.
But I'll try to fix it- maybe you should fix your signature then too :gray[/i]

The difference is, my signature is a short phrase that no one needs to read for any important information. Along the same vein, bits of italicized text in writing for emphasis are fine as well. Unfortunately, entire OOC posts in italics are very straining on my eyes to read (it's hard to focus on). Hell, default text (white on black) is bad enough as it is. It glows and smears in my vision, and the italics only make that problem worse. I'd really appreciate the effort.
