Normally, I would not respond to a post, such as this, but I feel as if I should. Gutshot is like me, old. We both use a larger font because it is easier to read. I have to enlarge most postings so that I can see them more clearly. So, If the font size bothers you, stay in Alabama and read the postings there. Thank you.
There's no excuse for this type of response. I asked quietly, respectfully and stated why I asked. I even said "please" twice. All caps posters are routinely asked to remove the all caps from their posts due to it's "shouting" format. Going up 2-3 sizes in font does the same thing. And, as one poster already stated, it's not necessary, just adjust your browser settings.
If someone has eye problems, then the need for larger font is entirely understandable - being rude to explain it, isn't.
