LOL! BEST. POST. EVER!
And the highlighting issue: It's to point out the relevant points of an article. (See highlighted text above). I don't want to have to wade through an entire article to see what the poster wants to stress.
People do this in conversation, too, btw. We quote articles in speech without reading it... or while reading, we say: "hey listen to this, 'according to one study...'"
In addition, it gives you insight ( sometimes ) into the opinions of the original poster as well.
