We are not in any other newsgroups Rudolf. We are in this one and in this
one we have made choices as a whole regardless of what anyone else does in
any other group.

I don't give a fuck if you can name all of the newsgroups that have ever
existed. None of those groups are THIS group.

Not, however, in the JAE group. So your comment is invalid, it is
apparently only in common usage to some of the other groups that you are
aware of. Even if all 490 other groups do indeed use your method, they are
a pitiful sample compared to all the other groups in total. Your 490 is
really rather insignificant. As there is upwards of around 60000 groups,
or however many it's about that last time I checked, getting a universal
format is not going to be possible, there are going to be stupid and
unfriendly methods used somewhere, like the inefficient method you use to
high text.
