it took me at least 5 seconds to realize that abaco was formatting
that page correctly. ☺
the key to the joke, however, is there is a vast difference between
leading indentation and stuff like
if(x == 1 &&
y == 2)
which just doesn't work well with proportional fonts.
i guess this email is an excercize in making presotto unfunny
in 3 easy steps.
