I recently posted a question to "Seekers of Perl Wisdom", and I got quick and excellent help, thanks a lot!
However, as first-time user I was a little annoyed by the old-fashioned input box. It's too narrow and it eats new-line characters by default, so it forced me to litter my text with cumbersome <br> tags.
Not everyone is conversant with HTML, and, for the occasional posting, I don't want to go through the "approved html tags" list or the like.
I find the wiki syntax easier to use (more intuitive). That could be provided as an option. For the real lazy, or for short questions, an option for plain-text format would be better suited.
Many thanks, and keep up the good work!
