raganwald, Posterous reportedly has an option to override their user-hostile decision to force body text to render without in a subpixel anti-aliasing. Would you be so kind as to throw that switch? Currently, the readability of your blog is negatively impacted.

This is a user-agent issue. Tell your user-agent to ignore Posterous' rendering hints.

It's a site issue, obviously. But I do have a bookmark which I use to undo the damage.

The style in question can have its places and uses, but not for body text.

I have written Posterous and they just don't want to hear it.
