Thanks for the feedback Manpreet...  I have been playing around quite
a bit with the text size of the various elements over the last little
while.  Take a look at it again and let me know if you are seeing the
same text size (and as such hope to have this size increased).

FYI... I have been developing for a while now a tool that will
eventually be distributed as open source that allows you to store an
XML configuration file locally to define layout, text size, color
scheme, etc... specific to your own taste.  The transformation of the
site takes place within your browser so theres no need to store user
settings and such anywhere other than your local machine.

Its actually a lot more than this but I wanted to mention this
particular piece as it will allow you complete control over what you
see and how you see it without having to reveal your identity,
log-in/out, etc...

In the mean time let me know what you think of the current text size
and I'll see if theres an adjustment that can be made to me the
criteria you are interested in.

Thanks again for the feedback! I will most definitely use your
suggestions constructively as I want this to be a true community site.

Best regards,

<M:D/>
