ASCII? OK... talking about plain text is one thing, but ASCII? That's just dumb. If you are going to use plain text, at least agree that we need something better than ASCII. There are people speaking other languages you know. Thinking we should stick to ASCII is even more a sign of your stubborness than thinking we should stick to unformatted text just because you don't like it, even though you can filter the formatting out and leave the text the way you like it. Oh, but no, since you don't like it, no one should be able to use it at all. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
