You ( Michael Moroney ) said I have to:
> disable a zillion compiler warnings

I turn on _all_ warnings, then I turn off
the "level 4" warnings that are _worse_ than useless
( they get in the way ).

> He'd never make the cut here.

You don't offer me anything worth taking, sorry.
I've got two jobs and plenty of money; I don't get fired.
I've held my current programming job ever since 1993.

Welcome to the 21st century.

When I address someone who uses a terminal-based newsreader,
-- like slrn, tin or nn -- I (usually) post PlainText.
Same for ForteAgent and 40tudeDialog users.

When I address GoogleGroups and/or MozillaThunderBird users;
I post simple subset of "Text/HTM" because, otherwise,
a proportional font would be used, and WhiteSpace would be altered.

The "OCR A" font ( Optical Character Recognition ) is best.
Smarter newsreaders, including slrn, use other fonts too,
depending on the glyph.

Personally, I use "OCR A", "MS Mincho", "Segoe UI Symbol", 
"DejaVu LGC Sans Mono" and "nSimSun" -- all "Console" fonts, 
MonoSpaced ( some are double wide ).  Depends on the glyph.
