I end up having to highlight the text to read it.

Perhaps this is related to the gamma of your monitor? I understand that Macs use a different gamma (1.8) than PCs (2.2), which would make bright tones calibrated for a PC less distinguishable on a Mac. I'm using a PC, and I have yet to see a comment I needed to highlight to read.

Granted I'm on a Macbook, but this is very hard to read for me.

Yeah, that's pretty unreadable for me as well. I guess I haven't seen posts modded down that far; I must be fortunate in my choice of threads.
