Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Have pity on your readers, my fellow shrink "Mickey"

I am a regular reader of fellow Psychoanalyst and Psychiatrist 1 Boring Old Man. Most of his posts go straight to the heart of the turmoil and controversy which is going on in our field today.


That's why I hope he receives this message from me: Your fonts are too small to read, and the color contrast between your print and your background is too slight. Those of us without 25 year-old eyes need a magnifying glass to read your good and interesting posts.

Get yourself an installation of Firefox and a three button mouse with a wheel. Hold down the control key and roll the wheel forward and, as they say in Italy, Viola.

Works with IE, too.

Or, control with the keypad "+" key.

For some reason his style sheet is calling for a font-size of .75em - so insane that my copy of Chrome won't use it, instead just calls "smaller".

Sadly, the "too clever by a half" color scheme isn't that easy to repair. G_d save us from clever graphic designers!

Seems to be a common problem these days, or is it me?

You're right.
I couldn't understand a thing he had to say.
I have no clever computer hints.

Dr. B - He won't have the skills to find and edit the font size & color codes in the source file, so best bet is to just do the Ctrl-mouse-scroll routine to enlarge the fonts. Hit Ctrl-0 (zero) to return to normal.
