I strongly agree. I find Eliezer's italics so off-putting that I avoid reading his writing in formatted text. I don't know why, and I'm sure not everyone has the same reaction, but excess italics just make me twitch.

Interesting. I usually find they break up the monotony of a large block of text, and help me identify how the passage should flow.
