Great post!

Please, HN, change the color of text in posts like the above. There is very little contrast between #828282 (copy) and #F6F6EF (background), and I for one am sick of having to fix this with Firebug.

I've always assumed that this font coloring is meant to discourage people from making lengthy text-based posts on HN.

I think that's what a letter or word limit is for, though.

Artificial limits don't seem like the correct answer. The community is the filter.

Use the "zap" bookmarklet, found here:

https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html

Add it to your bookmarks toolbar, and any site you use it on will turn all text into black-on-white (in fact, it gets rid of most background colors and images), remove anything flash-based, links are changed to blue & underlined, etc.
