Back in the pre-GUI era, I did this with all my posts and comments online. All fully-justified, both margins, without any extra whitespace: just careful choice of words, and occasional (but always normal standard) abbreviations.
It was fun, once practised it barely slowed me down, and when people noticed it blew their minds.
Then along came GUIs and proportional fonts and made it all invisible. :'(
