You know, you can set your browser so that fonts are bigger for you there and you can see it at your convenience without subjecting the rest of us to it.


I created this response on Wordpad... using 20 Bold... SO I CAN SEE WHAT I'M DOING !!! Then I copied it and am now transferring it here, presuming it will now appear in a size that will please your ridiculously critical demands... without subjecting you to the outrageous pain and agony you pretend you must endure if you even happen to see my normal posts !!!

I can only work on my PC by selecting View - Text Size - Largest. At that size I am just barely able to read what's on the screen if I pull my face up close to the monitor.

However, when I post my own messages I need to push back away from the screen so I can use the keyboard. Then the entire screen become blurred... unless I use a larger font. Posting my own text is a real pain in the arse because of the back and forth positioning that is mandatory to read and then type, read and type, etc.

I'm stuck in a huge clutzy wheelchair due to a big bunch of physical limitations. My back is broken, both legs are paralyzed and my left arm is partially paralyzed, plus my near blindness... hence to some I would be considered "worthless"... kinda sorta like Terri Schiavo.

But I support myself and my medical needs by successfully playing the stock market... an enterprize which really pisses off those who would like to brand me as being a "useless eater"!!! Here's hoping your delicate eyeballs have not been assulted !!!

In the Internet, everyone's equal: black or white, male or female, young or old, healthy or paralyzed, etc.

Unless you volunteer your situation, you will never be treated as less than human.

We are interested in your thoughts and opinions, not your physical abilities.

There are other ways for you to read large fonts without messing up the normal posting font.

I have a friend who uses a large flat-screen monitor with a software that turns everything big.

I'm sure that if you do some research, you will find a product that will meet your needs. The local associations of blind people (many of them are not completely blind, just legally blind) can help you if you don't like to do your own research.

I wish you the best.
