Are you out of your mind???

This is not a "preference," or a "technique."

It is quite simply correct, and not doing it is wrong.

It allows multiple sub-topics to be discussed in a thread, and to keep
responses coherent, as opposed to the simplistic list.

Quite seriously, in the old days, we simply flamed people until they
complied with proper format.  Then came on the Eternal September brought on
by AOL led to this foolish notion that it was a matter of preference,
rather than right and wrong.
