I hate to say it, but I think that, having taken off the specific point- or pixel-size for the P tag, the next step should be converting all the other font sizes which have numbers into percentages.

From a quick look at the style sheet, you've got 10,12,14, 16 and 18, so expressed as percentages, using an assumption that 12 is the base font size that would be equivalent to, uh, [goes to use Excel]:

10 83% 12 100% 14 117% 16 133% 18 150% 36 300%

those numbers are a bit clunky, so change them to:

10 80% 12 100% 14 120% 16 130% 18 150% 36 300%

and you should have very little difference, but much greater compatibility.

compatibility with what?

There's lots of tables with specific pixel-sized dimensions, especially in the left-hand column. If I make the font-sizes all percentages, it'll wreak havoc with the layout.

And FYI, the base size was 14px.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I got this header for Natter at 1:03 a.m. -- that's the *new* 1:03, after the time change. Please note the number of new messages.

And this is what I got 3 minutes later:

Natter 3: My Life and Times of Me, as Seen by Me (1070 messages, -4 new)

Then when I clicked in the Natter thread, the final post said 1074 of 1072:

Is it just b/c of the time change?

Oohhh! I didn't connect that with Daylight Savings! It's gotta be connected with the time change! ita where are you?!

It's kind of cool-looking.

And now I just posted in Bitches, but the posts are all out of order. Like, my new post is wedged in the middle of older posts.

I think you'll find that the posts are roughly in chronological order except that the board innards don't take into account the time change. So a post at the "new" 1:15 am (which would have been 2:15 am if not for the time change) gets moved back an hour and is positioned near the messaged posted at the first "old" 1:15 am. It's not exactly that, but it's close. No, I can't explain why either.
