@on the bay, your size 3 in your chosen font looks good to me. I read and post from my phone using size 4 in Lucinda Sans Unicode.

On the phone screen it's a comfortable reading size. 

 

Yes @suzyQ3, these days everyone needs to be familiar with 'Netiquette'.

This is from Googling Wiki's "posting in all caps"

"Studies have been conducted on the readability and legibility of all caps text. Scientific testing from the 20th century onwards has generally indicated that all caps text is less legible and readable than lower-case text.[2][3] In addition, switching to all caps may make text appear hectoring and obnoxious for cultural reasons, since all-capitals is often used in transcribed speech to indicate that the speaker is shouting.[4] All-caps text is common in comic books ...

If you need to use a larger size for reading ease and comfort, then do so. But posting in all caps or all bold is considered, and widly accepted as rude by well established Nettiquette standards.

 

It's common to organize your thoughts, and separate them by paragraphs. Big solid blocks of words without breaks makes reading difficult, and people often dismiss them without reading.
