I hadn't thought of the copy and paste utility of plain text. I just like how you can strike stuff out when it's gone so nobody goes running after stuff that's gone. And yeah, I think showing off the credit balance could be a reason to post that way; haven't seen any posts like that where the cmdr has less than a billion...lolyeah, you cant copy and paste from the screenshot and you cant copy the station name because at least chrome and firefox offer to move that EDDB link element around over the page. bummer.
but at least its a pratical way to show off your balance
