Travis, I have crook eyesight. So do many people of my vintage. I simply
cannot see the text on a very large number of sites out there because the
dresigner has chosen to *suggest* a stupidly small font size. One I simply
cannot see.

I will *naturally* mouse-wheel the font to something larger than the
dresigners stupidly chose.

If said site then falls apart then so be it. I either cannot read it because
of the stupidly small font size or I cannot read it because it has fallen
apart. In either case it it not my problem, it is the dresigners. At the
cost to the dresigners client for I have gone elsewhere to shop.

Please cite some references to support this. We have disagreed on this
before but I suggest to you that the people who need to use these settings
*will* know where they are and *will* use them. That is why they are there.
