i would be great if any edited forum post could use strikeout text in addition to bold, italic and underline

also guessing there are some ASCII gurus out there that can tell us how to do it

Um... while I've seen strikeout text used in other places, I am not sure you need it here. Would it occasionally have a use? Yeah... but so seldom it would be more effort than advantage gained. As it is now, if you posted something you later wished to "strikeout"... you can edit the post and simply re-arrange, rewrite, or remove what you wish to change. Not gonna -1 this... but not gonna support it either... yet.

in some suggestion and bug threads it would be particularly useful as a way to track changes from an early version of a report or suggestion over time as it is edited rather than just have the original text deleted...would also be nice for when mods edit someone's post (other than when the post is censored for some reason).
