  okay, first, you can't use html in an hn post for formatting. you should go back and add two-return-key paragraph breaks, so your post will be readable.
I had the exact same thing happen to me the other day when trying to submit a poll, it popped up <p> tags all over the place, so I'm sure it's not the guys fault.

I had to go back and edit the thread to make it readable after someone pointed it out to me.

oh. huh, didn't know that.

by the way, by putting a couple of blank spaces at the beginning of the quote, your comment is causing the page width to get stretched out.

froo may be using a browser where that isn't evident.

Until PG fixes, you can fix this yourself client-side with a bookmarklet or a greasemonkey script. See ...

It's customary to quote text using italics (that's * around text). Four spaces are for code.
