Honestly, having markdown in messages being typical would be
_really_ annoying for those of us not using the web interface,
because we'd see all of those backticks and the like as
backticks, not as syntax highlighting. It would be like seeing
html, albeit far less intrusive. I for one would much rather
that things just stay as pure text and that we not be adding
any features to the web interface that encourages adding _any_
kind of markup to messages. The web interface makes it easier
for folks who don't want to use a newsgroup or mailing list to
interact with the newsgroup, but it's still a newsgroup, and
_many_ of us use it as such.
You used markdown three times in your message.
