Oh come now. I used code formatting quite deliberately in that comment. I wanted to preserve the centering and single-spacing of the text on the back of the radio as best I could. The lines are short and render fine on a mobile device.

So yes, given HN's meager formatting options, monospaceisgood for that! :-)

You may note that later in that same comment there is a longer quote that I formatted in non-code italics.

But hey, if I encouraged you to create an HN account, that's great! Speaking as someone who writes code in a proportional font, we may have some interesting discussions ahead of us. ;-)
