While it's very rare that a company is on trial it does happen. Partially in rather prominent cases[1]

There is such a thing as a corporate death penalty.

(Totally unrelated, but I've added ">" to the start of your comment so it didn't get formatted as code and thus break the layout of the page. Not your fault - this is a bug of ours. Perhaps the most commonly complained about bug.)

I'll try to adhere to it when quoting in the future.

It's just that I always thought that courier font looks so cool for quoting.

But at the end of the day it should be legible, without scrolling around.
