I suspect it's a reference to The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure (The 'Good Parts' Version). Goldman wrote the book with the conceit that it's an abridged version of a story his grandfather read to him as a boy. Supposedly, both S. Morgenstern and his grandfather were from Florin, the country in which the story is set. Goldman loved the book as a child, but when he finally managed to track down a copy as an adult, he discovered that it had long, boring stretches of political satire, so he edited them out to give us just the "Good Parts". (Incidentally, I have a friend who read Les Miserables, and she said that it's much the same.)

I went back and checked. The text I submitted is Times New Roman all the way through. It looks fine on my screen. The Examples use Italicized text to distinguish them from the body of the review.
Well, I was actually reading the printable version. The main review page is entirely in Arial, the same as most RPGNet reviews. If you put font tags in the text you submitted, that may have something to do with it. Or it may not.
