Question for Discussion...

[freetrav]

As you probably know, Livejournal allows you to append ?style=mine or &style=mine to a LJ URL. Doing so causes the LJ page to be displayed in the style of the viewer's LJ (if the page admits of having user styles applied). This may (probably will) be different from the style that the page's author (i.e., the owner of the LJ) chose to present his/her journal in.

Question the first

: How do you feel about using this when you are viewing someone else's LJ? Why do you chose to do it?

Question the second

: How do you feel about others using this when they view your LJ? Why?

This is deliberately not a poll, just an open question; comment and discussion is invited.

Until recently I would have said such a choice was a rather interesting statement about the psyche of one who made such a choice. Self-centered, unbending, perhaps even a bit autistic in their approach to life. However, one of the ljs I now read at times uses an intensely irritating lavender background with bright pink print... I not only find it annoying, I have just enough color blindness I am very hard put to even read the words, and at times outright can't.
So it would seem there may be good cause to use such an option at times.... I like your scheme and find it very readable, by the way .
Given my own choices, I enjoy seeing all the different styles and formats people use and create. I'd be robbing myself by only viewing through my own.
