I like small font and I like pale pink. I had it that way for a while. I really liked it and I have good eyes, looked great to me. But people kept complaining and I changed it for them. I didn't want to though, lol. I can always read peoples font on here without a problem no matter how pale/small.
I agree with Tony, it's so easy to highlight the text and see it. No biggie. I don't ignore peoples responses because of their text.
