God I hate large grey text. Why are you trying to defeat the contrast ratio of my monitor? I paid good money to get it! If you want to enhance my reading experience on longer articles, give me the option of a lower background brightness (a gray background) so that I am not staring at a bright light for long periods of time. The text should stay black. Also why is the text column to the right instead of in the center? There is nothing on the left using that space! This is a lost opportunity for pleasing symmetry.
