I am thankful you still had a choice to continue reading or not. I am thankful you had the choice to use a user-stylesheet to override both the font-family and the text colour into something more readable for you.

I am thankful that the ability to work around these shortcomings was in your control. (Chuck it through a readability bookmarklet, as an alternative to overriding CSS)

Spare a thought for people where the choice of whether or not to consume a piece of content is taken away from them because they are disabled, and they have no straightforward way of working around the barriers the website has placed before them.

These people don't have the choice you have, unfortunately. I wish they did.
