It's a mild background color fitting with the theme of the Worg site.

And as I've said, centering has not even had any effect up til now.  So
I don't think it's a big deal.

I don't know what there is to worry about.  If someone centers some text 
on a Worg page to make it stand out, it would...stand out?  :)

I think that's unnecessary.  Worg isn't a democracy, after all.  If you
are vetoing the idea, then let it be vetoed, and let us move on with the 
rest of the proposed changes.  I'll go ahead and push them, without the 
background color.
