Dwight, as always I appreciate your thoughtful and articulate feedback.  In 
this case, I share your question about what meaningful distinction there is 
between formatting being "optional" versus having it available and simply 
not using it.

Also, my interest in formatting has nothing to do with "artistry" and has 
everything to do with clarity. 

For example, for me, the bold, red and yellow highlighting options (along 
with manually created bullets) help in:
-- managing lists
-- segmenting chunks of task-related data, 
-- identifying questions related to the task at hand and
-- flagging critical task related issues.

For this reason, formatting actually *increases* the efficiency with which 
I can quickly scan and process the info in my task notes -- and, in the 
end, I suspect that those of us who value formatting features may simply 
have a more "visual" approach to processing information than others who 
feel no need for it at all.
