But what will readmore tags do? You now have two options: either aren't going to click on the "read more" link, and complain the OP didn't post code, or you do, and end up with the same blob of text you're now complaining about.
I didn't read the blob of code of the posting being discussed. Had the OP use readmore tags, and had I not used to setting to unfold readmore tags automatically for me, I would have clicked, seen the blob of code, and then decided not to read it. I would have to do work to do the same thing I ended up doing now.
The only way a readmore tag would have made a difference for you is if you would not have unfolded the text, and would have just moved on. Who benefits from that?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
