Someone else also asked what good monospace is. I for one can't stand to
use anything but monospace because it completely destroys legibility on
code fragments, configuration file snippets, and a host of other things
that depend on spacing (yea, even ASCII art).

:-) I picked C because most of what we use in Linux is written in C.

I've been dismayed that sometimes the sig comes through as 

/* PLUG ...
* unsub...
*/

Instead of 

/* PLUG ...
 * unsub...
 */

(You with proportional fonts probably can't tell the difference. ;-)

Not sure what's causing it, it doesn't always happen.
