Meta: This is a problem w/ HNs layout, but using a fixed pitch line of 144 chars makes the entire page wide enough to require horizontal scrolling. Correction: for Chrome, just the comment, for IE9 the entire page. Is there a bullet list markup?

HN formatting is limited to the following: http://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

Because the monospaced format is intended for code, it assumes that lines will be short, so lines longer than ~85 chars get the overflow effect.
