Ok, so what I think you are saying is that *all* web pages should be displayed with a font size of 100%, that is, 16px? I concede that people should have the option to change a page to make it larger (so that's what I did - I though you would appreciate that). But most pages that I look at with a few exceptions such as yours, w3c and few others, are generally around the font size I am displaying. I am not going to try and defend the article as I don't have that much interest, and I think it is only one approach which I happen to find interesting, but I am surprised that this seems to be such an emotional issue. Are you also saying that most web sites (such as the examples I gave in a previous post, starting with Google working on down) are doing it incorrectly? And is this the reason why this is such a touchy subject?
