I am not responsible for that post or any evil it may or may not contain. But hey, aren't we all glad I set "overflow: auto" on wide posts?

Angry Rant Thread (2014-05-08 14:35:31) :
By bizarre chance I actually know a bit about the politics of UIC's humanities programs, having known someone who went through them. In a word: rejoice. Their ancient languages departments were dwindling a few years ago and are probably now completely dead, thanks to an administration that decided to focus on contemporary social studies and eschew history. Any prestige the place has is probably gone. (Also it's all done inside [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Hall_%28University_of_Illino...

can't afford the offer from the university of illinois at chicago. (i'm actually relieved. relatively prestigious institutions might expect better performance from me, when the reality of the matter is that i'm barely sane.)

Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one often sees horses, arms, ... and similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness.

Two linebreaks following a [!/quote] tag will now be collapsed down into one. Because no one needed to see that.
I've also added some rudimentary hacks to make tables less likely to create plaques of linebreaks, but they're far from comprehensive. It's enough to fix Nort's example above, at least, which I think will be the most common encounter.

(a) You can attach stuff to pages; click the "files" link next to the "edit" link at the top.
(b) You can add things to the whole universe for stuff that doesn't really fit with one page but is used frequently; this is accessible from the universe's edit page.

How?
