No, it's that these text-editors aren't meant to be copy-pasted into from other rich text editors. I always copy to notepad before copying here, and yes, it often means you need to reformat text.
I remember when I copied blogposts to reddit, which uses markdown as well, and I had to work on formatting it. And yes, you need to accept it'll take a while. Notepad copy-pasting will come off some of it.
Also, guess it's time to finally get that Asus working again :P
And I'm glad you like these comments. I'd gift you words all the days, and all the nights, if I could.
