You could take it up with John Robinson, I suppose. IIRC he mentioned that very possibility in the past, but thought better of it.People who really want their posts to be legible can consider using <blockquote> (as I routinely do . . .).

And previewing and correcting before posting.
The only time it bothers me is when an article is posted in it’s entirety. Pages should only be so wide, otherwise going back to the left to read the next line, it’s hard to find that line. This is just common formatting stuff that people have known about for decades/centuries. 99.8% of all websites have a max-width and margin. On the other end, we have sites like American Thinker which is too narrow and not centered.
That and
people who
post from
their phones.
FR was designed in and still conforms to 1990 html. Things have changed a wee bit but it’s probably hard to add a margin now as it would most likely screw with people using smaller devices. Need css for that.
