If your karma is under 100, you should be unable to post links. This is just further evidence.

From the page style:

    textarea {
       font-family: monaco, courier, monospace;
       width: 500px;
       ...
    }

Web designing mistake, wrong choice of units. Depending on user's choice of font width, text will wrap inside the text area and not produce the expected result. 'width: 40em' would be a lot more sensible and produce the expected results.

Pretentious, much? If you don't like it, flag it and move on.
