Well, actually it makes me murderous, but that doesn't work out too well, either as a pun or as a life achievement.

Absolutely 100% agree!!
As if we didn't learn HTML MARKUP for a reason. Now, I need to learn proprietary markdown!?! Ugh.
I know, sites are attempting to store markdown in databases and DBs don't allow markup to be stord for security reasons. It's still annoying.

Why do we need another formatting definition with obscure syntax? What ever happened to a nice WYSIWYG editor? And every site I've used markdown on, there are enough variations that something I learned how to do on one site doesn't work on another.

True, but I can complain when change is taking two steps backwards and zero forwards!

Well, it's lightweight. Just look most generated HTML from a WYSIWYG editor. I think it's great for non-techy people or stuff like quick readmes. I'd not make a webpage with it, but for simple stuff it reminds me a lot of Wiki editing.

Ah, that's what it reminds me of too. I haven't done wiki editing in years, forgot about that.

Just wait until they make you write wiki's in markdown.

I recently ran into the same problem on GitHub. I couldn't figure it out so I used the Wiki tab to create the documentation so I could easily add links via regular HTML MARKUP.
The readme was quite annoying and a waste of time to learn how to use special markdown when I know markup. 
Oh, my readme says, "Check out the Wiki tab for more info".

Why post something at all if nobody replies and gives you some attention? Therefore anyone who posts here seeks attention.

Really? Tell me more! It seems this problem may have started some time ago - perhaps in your childhood? 0xF0r what it's worth, new meds for 8-bit trauma are still under development. Just hold on a little bit longer.

So true. With RAM from 0x0000 to 0x0FFF you acquire strange habits for the rest of your life, like stuffing as much RAM into your computers as you can.

I'm just building an expansion for my old computer from 1978 (and its design from 1976). It will theoretically allow up to 16 megabytes for a little 8 bit processor. I simply don't ask Billy the Gates.

Alas - nay, regrettably - I would choke on that cheese omelette.
A childhood 'thing', out of nowhere: an aversion to eggs, especially cooking them in the same room where I am or will be, can cause an unpleasant scene. Can't stand the taste of a glass of milk, either. Love cheese, yogurt, etc. No allergy to things made with eggs nor to dairy; not lactose intolerance.
I met someone else, a German (whilst I was in Europe) who had the same thing happen to his sensibilities. Out of nowhere. Some aversion, same effects. Tough luck on both of us.
So - after assaulting whoever cooked it, I would, indeed, choke on the omelette if I tried to eat it..

I'm getting a lot of snail mail at work. Most are technical magazines and product announcenments.
While checking the mail this morning, a small magazine felt out of another one. I expected an advertisement brochure but got corrected:
It was a periodical of the German society for carrier pigeon cultivators.
After wondering why such has been bundled with a magazine for electronics, I turned it over and found an address label:
Misrouted mail, even not for this area. Must have been slipped into the magazine in some mail delivery centre.
