Now, I feel dumb. ;)

Oh, that must be what he meant, though I'd rather anti-alias against a 
transparent background than a black background (if that makes any sense).

The first "AA" that I thought of was Alcoholics Anonymous (which made no 
sense).

I did a little web search, but I quit looking after the first page:
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=AA

I didn't think that "American Airlines" made any more sense. Finally, I 
decided that he meant "Affirmative Action". So I decided he found my 
"albino" background offensive and preferred to have a darker background.
