Yeah, come to think of it, it might be high time I leave.
My implementation of markdown works great, and since my proposals weren't
even replied to once, I doubt I can do anything more here.

Perhaps I could cut down the daily "unintended spam" I'm receiving, which is
getting pretty annoying (did I really need Steve's news from 12 different
sources?).

Cheers,
Chris.
