Yep it does.. The parent to your post has his comment in 'pre' tags. Yours uses regular HTML formatting. Its very noticeable in the Comments RSS feed..

FWIW, the problems with the current formatting of "plain text" comments are well understood; it's on my list to do something smarter. But the previous attempt (which tended to render as a bunch of long-line/short-line pairs) wasn't very nice either. I'll probably end up doing something simpler which will not try so hard to preserve formatting in the plain text mode.
