Agreed, and I'm surprised there aren't more of us. I don't advocate for 12px font sizes, but somewhere around 14 is probably correct. 16px is typically absurd.

I wasn't even able to finish reading this blog post because it hurt so bad. Maybe if my monitor was another foot back or so, but unfortunately I'm in the common position of a cubicle with limited desktop mobility, so that's not an option. Really, I find myself just not reading any site with absurdly big font sizes, or absurdly small. Keep designing for that 60 year old market if you want, but you're alienating the younger demographics.
