yeah, but Geoff has told me that he has his text set at factory default
16px... which is my point again, that those who've decreased the default
(and some do, and some don't) will possibly be unable to read it.

I guess the one thing we all agree on is that there are always going to
be exceptions...  again, as Geoff brilliantly said, "It is up to the
designer / developer to choose which downside they are willing to
accept."  I really like that quote.
