Hi ALL ( esp. forum moderators ),
I was considering posting code based on the code from <span style="text-decoration:underline
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/94053780-b173-44e6-bb4a-7df08a6bf4b2" target="_blank" title="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/94053780-b173-44e6-bb4a-7df08a6bf4b2 DrawSpiral
which would show a <span style="text-decoration:underline spinning spiral . Obviously if I showed a very fast spinning spiral then the effect could
affect some people in a hypnotic or otherwise manner which may leave some people feeling unwell.
Therefore would any moderator consider this to be inappropriate forum content? I guess the answer is
<span style="text-decoration:underline YES .
What if I added a warning at the top of such a post?

What if I posted the code to show a very slow spinning spiral which could be speeded up by changing some values
<span style="text-decoration:underline instead?
A very slow spinning spiral is hardly, if at all, going to affect anyone I guess.

Would it be better not to show such code at all? Your thoughts on this would be very welcome
<span style="text-decoration:underline please.<br/>
