I was simply expressing my opinion in a polite, even-tempered manner. I'm somewhat surprised at the tone of your response.

"... the users who my suggestion applies to have already expressed their preference for a dark theme ..."

I did write: 'I see my preferred "dark theme".'; so I'm one of those users.

"Your suggestion is theoretically possible ..."

I made no suggestion. I merely stated an alternative proposal that I would support.

"... there is no need for the entire site ..."

I would rarely browse more that one node as an AM.

"... to be a relative retina-burning white when just about every other site and app respects the dark mode option."

See https://www.perl.org/, https://www.perl.com/, anything linked from the newly added Slashdot & HackerNews nodelets, and many, many more that do not use a dark theme (which both my O/S and browser settings indicate).

Anyway, as I said, I'm just giving my opinion. I am not attempting to champion a cause. If you don't like my opinion, that's OK.
