[wp-forums] Questionable Post? How to Handle Said Post and an Introduction

[it's EMG]

Thanks muchly for your observation.

I kept thinking it was probably genuine from reading the post itself, but
after clicking the link, I started going, "Well hmmm, I don't see any images
with blue boxes or red boxes, so now what?"

And yes, thank you for reminding me about the gamma deviation between
monitors!  That's in fact probably why I didn't 'see' any blue or red boxes
and only cream/yellow colored ones - whoops.

Cheers!
