There is a very wide gulf between a) saying that many (perhaps even the majority) of web users are unaware that changing the default text size is an option and b) saying those people are morons. Conversely, not being a moron does /not/ imply that the person has changed their defaults. I can think of a large number people just within my (non-IT professional) friends and family who would have no idea about tinkering with their browser settings in that way. Are they morons? Of course not. But the fact remains that they have never adjusted their defaults. >That you like smaller fonts than the defaults is no reason to assume >they do too. Correct. Nor is it a reason to assume that they do not. -- Rick Lecoat ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
