 * I’ve always highly disliked the visual rich editor (it has a habit of screwing
   up my tables), so when I disabled it, I expected to have no further problems 
   with WordPress altering any of my code (as I’m more than able to be able to insert
   my own code correctly and easily). However, I just noticed when I started embedding
   ads into my site, that the nl2br function which inserts <p> and 
    tags automatically
   is still running. I’d like to request that there be a way to turn this off completely.
   In fact, I think it should be turned off right along side the visual rich editor.
   If the editor’s off, chances are we know what we’re doing enough to add our own
   tags.
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve never used the visual rich editor for my personal blogging, but enjoy being
   able to bypass the need to add tags dealing with paragraph formatting. And I’m
   quite certain I know what I’m doing. `:/`
 * But if you want it off, you might look at:

 * Thank you so much for this plugin. It’s done exactly what I needed done =)
 * I still think that I should be a built-in feature of WordPress to turn all these
   automatic formattings off, however.
