Graphic Design Common-Sense

People! Really! I was trying to help my friend with his blog's color-scheme and the following ensued:
"a_logan@mac.com: oooo yellow on cyan, I simply love having my irises burned out!"
Read a book, or look at what your doing, or just avoid sharp colors, just do SOMETHING that makes the internet a slightly more hospitable place!
By the way, I know what I'm talking about here, and the K in CMYK stands for "Key-plate" a.k.a. black.
