I'm not sure why you think I'm a "young'un" but, please get over yourself, "old timer."

So because 12px font was super readable on 640x480 CRT on Win95, we should continue to use that and never update our blogs?

Are you seriously trying to defend shitty readability in 2013? What a weirdo.

Nope.

Nope, not as far as I can tell. Do read my original post.

In case you're too young to understand why I wrote... I was explaining a possible reason why the site has the font-size it currently has. I went on to say that I'm sure that were the site redesigned today, it would have a larger font... JUST LIKE ALL THE WEBSITES YOU LIKE THAT HAVE 16px FONTS... YES, THEY PROBABLY HAD 12 or 13px FONTS IN THEIR PREVIOUS ITERATIONS.
