Ah, right, I didn't appreciate the history involved here 
In that case, I reserve my right to change my mind and now think that it's one of those cases that we should leave to public/moderator opinion. If this thread develops into a long pro-colour one then maybe your decision needs revisiting, if not, well, then not...

If this thread developers into a long pro-color one, then I will strongly consider readding color. However, it cannot be because Dave is rallying for votes. 
The people have to genuinely want color.

Dave is the only person who wants or cares about color. Of 100,000 members, he's the only person who seems to have realized color went away.
PS:
My head still hurts.

It is true that many people don't know how to use it, but it's nice when it's there for those of us who do.
I can't make the same point using BIU, it just looks dumb. And I still miss fonts, and I still miss sizes. They have a real purpose other than abuse, and lacking them is just lacking. Hadja ever noticed that some of the previous changes messed up most of Bob's tutorials? Some of my posts here used to use elements that are now missing (and I'm not the only one who used color to highlight issues in code), so you have devalued previous posts that might have been more useful to someone seaching.
Heck, if you hate colors, and sizes, and fonts, why not continue on and get rid of BIU, indenting, bulleting and numbering and all that too? Someone's bound to abuse them too.
Let's do the whole thing in plain text. Yeah, let's be usenet. Go Courier New!
