When I view your posts (using a fixed-width font, and software
that doesn't try to reflow paragraphs), they show up with lines
of varying lengths, with line breaks where I imagine you having
(metaphorically?) paused for breath. The effect is weirdly
charming -- your posts appear to be a kind of free verse -- but
I'm really curious about whether this is deliberate on your part,
or an artifact of your newsreader (i.e., what you see when you're
composing your posts is different), or what.

It's not an artifact.

(I'm also mildly curious whether others out there are seeing
something different. For me, the part of the post I quoted
has five lines, respectively beginning "Finally", "not", "but",
"to declare", and "(after".)

Others should see the same,
