Why should they!?!
I never said anybody ‘should!’
I jus’ said that I'd be grateful if they corrected the malady…that’s all.

So it isn’t like I'm submitting faulty text!
Somewhere down the line someone processes it, in Word
or another typing document and it comes back altered.
(That’s not my fault when this happens, after like, 34 posts
suddenly ‘one’ individual can’t access the characters!)
Oh, but it’s not just me…
It happens lots of times to lots of others in diffrent threads…
I can site references- but I'm goin’ off to dinner now…

Your silly Larry. =)
I don’t ‘expect’ anything…
And It’s not my mess.
(Oh, like I should be held accountable for the few individuals
who use a program that’s limited in it’s character recognition!)

I understand and respect your point…
It’s just that plain text is sooooo boring!
(Yes, I'm aware that it’s the content that counts.)
BUT,
A nicely formulated post with a few snazzy
characters can only enhance the overall letter IMHO.
Thanks for the reply,

P.S.
> I'd rather you just stuck to normal characters
But characters are a matter of expression which personalizes the post.
How far should this ‘normal character’ use be implemented?
Perhaps those who use ++ should also refrain from such frivolous use.
;)
(Cause anything ‘normative’ is simply relative to an individuals perspective.
Perhaps there are those out there who disagree with any post that isn't
alphabetic... aka the giddy use of symbols: '++' )
