Raw HTML editor for messages (recommend ckeditor)

Granted I'm pretty new to aspplayground, but I have played around with dozens of forums and I have to say I have already found a bunch of places where getting the post to be exactly right was hard with aspplayground.
Generally it involves some stray "open bold" or something that I have to keep hunt and pecking to find exactly where it might magically be hidden so I can delete it (and thus unbold a huge block of text below it).  What I really miss having is a way to see the entire message in raw HTML - so I can go fix anything that is broken manually.  That would be of great help in the cases where I am maintaining some actual content like a FAQ or instruction message.  Some other forums use products like ckeditor (which, btw, I highly recommend considering adding to the product - it is awesome and GPL http://ckeditor.com/)

I have also had some posts "freak out" after I was doing some format changes and lose content (doh).  I have learned to keep my content posts in a local HTM and paste it in with html blocks around it just to be sure...

The format stripper is "ok" - but sometimes it just repeats the highlighted text again (at least w/o the html) but  I have even more to mess with...
