Not really arguing anything. Just curious if there was a specific reason to do this over maybe throwing together a basic HTML page before submitting to a news aggregator.

I'm not making a judgement call, I'm trying to learn.

Articles or links can be submitted by anyone not necessarily content authors.

Further I think a lot of people here (myself) included are quite happy with plain-text (it loads fast, it works well with various font/screen sizes) - note also that the README is in fact markdown formatted, so feel free to open it in your reader of choice.

Is it? How do you see that? Or is that a different link?

Why doesn't my browser render markdown?

It is. You have to be familiar with markdown flavors. No, same link. Browsers do not render markdown by design (there is no single standard anyway).

Yeah, looks like the submitter was not the author.
