Like I said, the high contrast level is important, and I couldn't agree more with your sentiment.
Nonetheless, the original comment said something to the effect of, your post should have black text if you are making an argument for using black text. It is nit-picky to highlight that your page had dark gray text, but I only did this after you made the inaccurate claim that the page was using black text (as compared to the Apple page, which does use black text).
So it is not really the use of black or dark gray that is important, but the use of high contrast background to foreground colors. Black/gray has little to do with it. And, gray is particularly problematic because it is likely the color that is most often used appropriately, and simultaneously the color that most often used inappropriately - depending on how dark/light the shade happens to be. I mostly wanted to highlight the often present (and an oh-so-intended pun) 'gray areas' in these discussions.
High contrast - definitely, black - maybe. It's a good discussion, and there's a lot of potential depth here, as with most design issues. Apologies if I came off as nit-picking or flippant, it really wasn't the intent.
