I would agree with you if we were all reading on E-Ink displays. As it is, I'm actually reading this on an LCD screen, which even at low backlight settings is far to bright (and loses contrast). White text on a black background is far more comfortable.

I had to use a reader view extension to stand it ;-)

Hiding the scrollbar is the real crime here.

It's the border that hurts my visual cortex.

explain?
