I have a couple of blind followers, too, who can't use the verification crap--so that is why I don't have that, either. [I better not have! Blogger tried to put it on all the blogs a while back--grrr!] And I had some older readers--like my dad who was in his 90s and half blind with glaucoma in one eye.

When I first read your blog (and I forget how I got there), I was very pleased that yours was one of those blogs that actually had readable fonts. In fact, I increased my blog size influenced by your "size." DO NOT CHANGE YOUR FONT SIZE.

My eyes ain't getting any younger, so I always appreciate when a blogger decides to go LARGE. However, when I read the late Roger Ebert's movie reviews, I have to click on the zoom feature Big Time. Same thing goes for Wikipedia. <br /><br />Hell, it only takes a second to reduce or enlarge an entire post, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over somebody complaining about how big you are: BIG is good :-)<br /><br />Dylan<br /><br />P.S. My apartment is now pristine, all the laundry is done, I've paid all my bills, and I've bought enough groceries to last me an entire month.
