Hi, I'm a developer on this project so I can answer any technical questions you may have.

I think the name is really great for a predictive platform.

No offense intended, but my eyes can't handle a body text color of #666 this early in the morning.

Why do you let his website set that colour on your screen?

I didn't. I just hit the back button.

This is technically known as "blaming the victim", by the way.

I made a polite suggestion to change something that many, many people find annoying, and you're making it out like it's my fault that I don't run some script or whatever to keep it from happening. Whatever, dude.

Interesting way to interpret my comment. Personally, I am in control of my computer and I find it sad when I found out other people aren't in control of theirs. Sorry if I implied it was your fault.

There's no reason to feel "sad" because others choose to not spend their time on manually micromanaging every aspect of third-party web sites. If you find doing that a productive use of your time, I'm happy for you.

I perform no micromanagement of third-party websites, it was a one-time setting of my web browser preferences.
