I agree.
We want Bridge players writing about Bridge, and cat
breeders writing about cats, and campers writing about camping--the
kind of people who have never even heard of HTML are the kind of
people we want most to attract and make use of. We computer nerds
are used to dealing with special syntaxes; it is we who should adapt
to them, not the other way around.
Wow... LDC you just beautifully crystalized the issue. Something like the
above paragraph should be on the editing policy page.
