[Rhodes22-list] mjm 9/11 thoughts

Brad,

Oh yeah, I figured that much out (the president thing), but receiving in
plain text, I am getting &, #, 3, 4 (leave out the commas) in your emails.
The only thing I can think of is this is some HTML code or something that
isn't coming through right on my computer. I have very little understanding
of HTML so don't know for sure if this is right, but it is showing up before
and after some of your words or phrases like some kind of font control code.

For instance your boat name is showing up for me as,  &, #, 3, 4 CoraShen &,
#, 3, 4 (again, remove the commas and spaces). Is this perhaps code for
quotes marks???? In this reply I see quotes on both sides of your boat name
now instead of &, #, 3, 4.

I'm just curious if this is just some quirk in my computer or if it is
something you are doing.

Rik
