There are young "freaks" for oldtimer cars, and of course they know how to operate them. The only question is what people find worth the effort. Compared to writing well-reflected text in understandable English, learning some basic HTML is a negligible effort.

I would appreciate a mechanism that allows readers to distinguish important posts from mere chatting quickly, particularly in lengthy threads. A button similar to "Like", but labeled "Find important", could do the trick.
