That's easy: I delete the posts ;-)
And I won't say a thing, not a thing, about reposting articles to lists
which shall remain nameless, formatted so that they're actually

with "monopolist" in "about Microsoft" portions of press releases. No,
not a thing.

Looks like it was your doing. Your attribution lines themselves are
wrapping, whihc may be part of the problem.
