Tim clarifies my original comments about underlining links by stating that I don’t “emphasize that this violates a fundamental design principle. User preferences should not be ignored. If users go to the trouble of turning link underlining off, they get annoyed when that preference is overridden.“ Agreed. This should have been a more prominent point, although I did eventually get around to it: “forcing underlining to be either on or off violates the principle of respect for the user….” Also note that a lot of this typography talk is traceable to David Siegel’s wonderful and witty Web Wonk site.
