Looks like the EPA is taking another look at their regulations. It's true that fracking isn't the monster in the closet that everyone makes it out to be, but this sort of thing is fixable.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Exactly. The EPA is alway increasing their regulatory burden as they, like any other b'cracy, chases the end state of perfectly controlled behavior.

Good luck with that.

I suspect that we long ago passed the Pareto point with regard to all regulatory infrastructure.
