Um , not starting a flame war here, but IMO, there's nothing wrong with using H# tags in posts, particularly if they help to identify breaks in the post. I mean, that's what they're meant for when you think of HTML as a content markup language.

That said, if you don't like the H# tags on PM, there's a very simple solution: fix them in your site CSS. Specifically, the following in your user settings should cause H tags to appear simply as bold text at your default font size. Flavor to taste: 

H1 { font: bold medium; }
H2 { font: bold medium; }
H3 { font: bold medium; }
H4 { font: bold medium; }
H5 { font: bold medium; } 
H6 { font: bold medium; }

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important
