While I agree with your comment, I must say said formatting is simply being (over)used for emphasis, and it seems like rather a cheap shot to attack it.

The remark on the formatting was not meant as a cheap shot or to denigrate the content in any way. At least for me bold/colored text interspersed in a paragraph makes it significantly harder to read and to focus on the flow of the sentences and their nuances. You always have some bold attention! screaming word in your immediate peripheral vision. If it's a short comment making a single point that is acceptable, but in a multiparagraphed comment it gets tedious.

So I'm happy to lead our arguments where noone has gone before, just not to lead them there boldly ...
