What about those who post hundreds (or even thousands) of lines of code?

And shouldn't we still be encouraging people to use a pastebin if they 
can? Only that's a darn sight easier to read than a styled block of 150 
lines of multi-indented code. Scrolling back and forth, as well as up & 
down, trying to unpick code via a fiddly little code box is a right 
royal pain.

I vote that we still keep the pastebin instructions in and try to 
encourage people to use it for large blocks of code and leave the rest 
to best judgement.
