If you are confused and/or annoyed by the use of colours in compound terms, that may be harsh for you personally, but please don't imply that others are operating on a similar limited intellectual level. People here can understand terms like "whitelist", and, given time, I am confident you will get there too. Once that is achieved, and if you're feeling especially adventurous, look up "Black Hand", which you might consider even more confusing. :-) Seriously, when will the clutching at straws end? There is no confusion about the existing terminology, and you know that for a fact, just as well as I do. -Ralph
