This seems like a valuable service, and I'd like to continue doing this, but perhaps I'll add a disclaimer asking people not to talk about HN in the replies to minimize noise. If you have questions or concerns about the site, please email hn@ycombinator.com rather than leaving a comment.
- cardiffspaceman 9y agoAs a desktop user with a 30" monitor I also appreciate this reformatting. The other method of quoting renders in monospaced font that looks bad.

- sillysaurus3 9y agoThanks! I don't know whether to keep doing this or not so if you have an opinion one way or the other, let me know. The community seems to appreciate it, but on the other hand it adds noise. Though one benefit is that it nudges users toward using italics for quotes instead of code blocks.

- dragonwriter 9y agoThe CSS is correct. Abusing code formatting for quotes is the problem. (The fact that HN has no dedicated markup for quotes and very little available markup at all is also a problem, but using code blocks for quotes is not a solution, or even a good workaround, for that.)
