Strike thru text in HTML doesn't work for me

[WA_Vol]

I tried to striker thru text in html in a post and it doesn't work for some reason:

<strike>1. Kippy Brown</strike>
2. Doug Marrone
3. Trooper Taylor
4. Rob Spence
5. Frank Cignetti
6. Scott Loeffler
7. George Quarles
8. Jeremy Bates
9. Jim Hofher
10. Greg Adkins

<strike>1. Kippy Brown</strike>

I'm not sure it's supposed to work. I think the html box allows you to post code that won't be parsed as code.
