This is a 'Me, too!' node, but I just want to reinforce what others have said.

While I hate getted --'ed too, stick it out and leave the post as is -- it provides and will provide useful information to the current and future readers. I've had a few ugly posts myself, to do with XOR encryption and more recently Tact and the Monastery, but I figure you have to colour outside the lines once in a while to remind yourself where the lines are.
