mk also said that comments have more weight than posts. I tend to post and share far more than comment, so that might be it. I often enjoy starting discussions on a given topic and then reading them more than actually participating in the discussion myself, I'm not sure why.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

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.

Nothing wrong with that. It's always fascinating reading others have to say, thoughts you've never had. It's invigorating.

Do you know how much weight is given to people posting in one's threads?
