It sounded too much like a conspiracy theory, but honestly, I don't care. I think how mdoc came to exist is entirely irrelevant to its value TODAY. I don't prefer it because I am some sort of BSD fanboy; I prefer it because it's easier to use and allows me to capture the meaning of the words I write, which then translates nicely into a visually consistent, high quality output without much effort on my part. ~ onf
