[picking a random message to reply to]

I don't mean to dampen anyone's enthusiasm for working on this, but I
really think that Emily was doing a better job at testing her CSS
changes on a broad spectrum of OS/www/resolution combinations that she
was given credit for.  She offered to address the complaints and put
them through her normal testing matrix but we seem to have brushed her
aside in the rush to "fix" things and I think that is a mistake since
we're seeing people come to the same realizations about tradeoffs that
Emily had long since come across.
