Doug may want to chime in here

Below is an excerpt from that post that appears (in my browser) in a different slightly smaller, serifed font. I'd bet that this was a sentence edited before the post was pasted to the bbs.

converse is that if I’d suffered in silence I’d always have existed in the shadow of my “manager”.


Below is the next paragraph from that post where the words on the ends of the lines are missing when displayed on my screen -- but after copying it to my clipboard and pasting it here, all the words are present.

-You always pay a price for going over someone's head. It's up to you if this is worth it, but even if the issue is "resolved" (as it was in my case) it will always be known that you skipped a level- not just the person that was skipped but to the others around you. I was definitely branded for a time as a person who'd "run to the boss" when there was an issue. However, the future bore my stance out and I have weathered the storm well enough.

Interestingly enough... if I expand that browser window to full screen, the words at the far right of each line are still missing (but only in that one paragraph) and of course they are different words because the line breaks are in different places. Then, when I bring the window back out of full screen mode and back to "normal window" mode -- the whole paragraph is in that smaller, serifed font and all of the words are now present. Then, if I use the scroll wheel on the mouse and scroll that post out of view and then scroll it back into view, it's back the way it was originally, with the one sentence in the different font and the words missing at the ends of the lines in the next paragraph.

There is other weirdness in that post as well -- such as the line that says

I know my issue wasn’t spot on with what you’re dealing with, but I learned a lot and hope it’s helpful.


that, depending on whether the post is displayed "fresh" or re-displayed after being full-screen and then back to normal window, or re-displayed after scrolling out of it and back into it, or even just being weird and then highlighted with the mouse and magically becoming normal -- this line can be everything from perfectly readable to non-ascii gibberish.

Only Jeff (Ferret Boy's) posts and at least one, possibly two other people's posts exhibit this behavior. That's about all I can tell you about it...
