Wow thanks for taking the time to share all of this. I'm a fan of 16px + for body copy. I think the browsers have it right most of the time with the default font size of 1em == 16px. You've got me thinking of experimenting with 18

Most of my experiences with StackOverflow are positive, but just once in a while I'm left baffled by what feels like an excessive use of force by the power wielders there. Are there some misaligned incentives? Or perhaps I'm not g

If you're on shared hosting, is it down to the hosting company to enable Forward Secrecy? Are there any shared hosts doing this yet?
