[Athen] question about links - underlining

[Alice Anderson]

All,
What are your thoughts about 'links' on this page...we're having an  
ongoing discussion/debate in my world about
red/green colorblind, and using red as links without underlining. At  
one point, I received an email from a color blind
individual saying 'unless you underline, I won't be able to see  
them'....

all comments and thoughts - to the list, or me individually,  
appreciated,
thanks,
alice
