Hahaha, I know, right? Someone might seriously float this argument.

Gee, here's a Markdown file on my computer that I'd like to read (formatted as intended). Since I don't have a lightweight reader for Markdown, let me just...

1. Open it up in a text editor

2. Launch a browser

3. Navigate to some page that allows Markdown comments.

4. Log in to comment.

5. Find something to comment on.

6. Create and paste into a comment.

7. Post the comment.

8. Read.

SO EASY!
