2. For some unfortunate reason, the post to which you refer will
not format properly on my browser, requiring me to chase each sentence off the screen. I won't.

3. Anyone else experiencing that problem?
I am using Firefox and it appears fine. I compose posts in Notepad and turn off 'word-wrap', otherwise I seem to get an extra line-break (space) between each line when posted, along with a lot of variance on line-lengths.

5. This appears to be a screen resolution issue
The page looks fine for me in Internet Explorer, but I am using a 1280 x 960 resolution. When I lower it, the words do indeed run off the page.
