Any chance for a more readable font?

Any suggestions?

  @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

Probably http://www.youtransfer.io/ I'm having a little trouble, too. Even making the type a little bit darker would help.

I am not a very important person but I certainly ask for it, and I'd like you to stop discarding me and my "kind" as "no one".

Do you ask for that with the awareness that gravatar then gets to track your presence around the internet for the cost of a tiny picture? I would rather have less ad tracking pixels on someone elses websites if possible, but I am genuinely interested in the value that gravatar provides to people who like the service.
