Graeme: I am so sorry, I really should have taken my usual care to moderate my language. I should have at least changed 'truly awful graphics' to 'the kind of graphics I avoid using', and emphasised that I was not in any way criticising the variant itself. Because I was being so tolerant, indulgent even, of Fergus' comment I unwittingly expected the same of you, and shouldn't have. If, having had time to reflect, you would really welcome a comment about your graphics posted on your page, please confirm this and I'll certainly try and be far more constructive there.
Fergus: I really think we ought to agree to differ and end this exchange of comments. They have got way off the subject of this page and of the series of whose index it is part. If you want to ignore variants whose graphics you personaly dislike, that's fine. There are plenty of other contributors. Recently I've had some splendidly constructive criticism from George Duke, and clarified the variant in question accordingly.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:
