Disable Markdown, and nothing changes in the bookmarklet editing window. So there IS an issue.

[That post is here](http://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/why-the-indieweb).

Thanks to Chris Aldrich for reminding me of the bookmarklet, which I do sometimes use, and which I sometimes forget to use.

I do seem to vaguely remember that there was a bit of a problem with Markdown. So let me test that here, with some **bold** and *italics*.

Seconds later: As I feared ...

I probably have to abandon Markdown. But why should I have to? People have been asking for the ability to switch on a per post basis forever.

Of course one can do it by hand. Manual till it hurts and all that. But one shouldn't have to. I am not a developer so I don't know how hard it would be to give the New Post entry form the same Reply field that Status has. And logically, I would have thought a Post was more likely than a Status actually to be a reply.

Glorious listening. @nicolakidsbooks run, don't walk, to hear this. http://www.npr.org/2017/07/06/534316420/first-listen-offa-rex-the-queen-of-hearts

Which I said where, @wrightmderek ?

Jeremy Cherfas

.@wrightmderek Did you even read it? Not about "plant breeding". About thinking breeding for taste is something shockingly novel, in @kevinfolta's own words

Jeremy Cherfas

@kevinfolta On second thoughts, also a repudiation of your ultimate goal, which I guess is IPR.

Jeremy Cherfas

@kevinfolta Absolutely not a validation. A repudiation of your methods, not your goals.
