I dont know how to change font size, sorry for the large size.

To me at least, the large font size is really really annoying. If anybody knows how to fix it, please speak up.

A simple fix is to just reduce the size of text in your browser when reading it by clicking ctrl and minus or control and scroll-down or whatever the shortcut is for your browser. It's not the best solution and it is client-side but it helps reading things like that if you get annoyed by it.

This post will be seen by hundreds or thousands of humans. Asking each one to individually adjust their equipment to make it readable is a huge waste of human time. The submitter should fix it in the source.

Yes, this is what I was referring to when I said

It's not the best solution and it is on the client-side

Try editing the article, selecting all and cutting the text, then using ctrl-shift-V to paste without formatting (my new favorite thing). Hopefully it will use the default text size.

Fixed. (This was exceptionally jarring. One should resolve such issues before posting.)
