I agree completely, even though I obviously break those rules myself. When a web site designer chooses to use a dark background, they must keep the article length short. Lengthy articles can cause far too much strain on the readers eyes. Font size reminds me of another topic - accessibility. Ideally, a web site should be designed so that the reader can specify their minimum font size in order to remain accessible to those readers with vision problems, or just "older eyes". Great points Joni. Two very valid points, Joni. I agree completely, even though I obviously break those rules myself.

Matt, what about larger text size to increase readability? If your site visitors are older increasing the size of the text helps them read it easier. I also read studies that said dark text on a light background is more readable than light text on a dark background. Keeping the text column length short as you have done in this site deign makes reading easier too. Note this is common for news papers. Nice article with good points to consider.
