Dear the Internet (and many livejournals)

[substitute]

Why do you force small font sizes? Why do you put a font size=2 in your site/journal? It hurts my eyes. Just do that in your CSS so you see it that way, and let the rest of us read.

I hate small fonts so much. Please let us read things the way we prefer.

Especially all of you haxor kids being very 1998 with your tiny white or green font on black background. Very K-Rad, Neo. Had you ever considered that the web could be used for communication as well as looking spiffy?

Grah.

Amen!

Here's a little something that saved my sanity (and my eyesight):
add style=mine (use ? first if there are no other arguments to the page) to your URLs. I've adjusted my settings to do so automatically when I click through to a comments page.

Thanks, yeah I do that too. It works on almost everything except a few people who manually insert the font tags just to be special. But it does strip out all those delightfully artistic LJ styles.

It's those people who take the extra special care to make things unreadable that make the cyberdifference.
