I know what you're thinking.  ? What's that? Never you mind. Pretend you don't see it. It's between me and my friends on Gliese 581.

Claire, you're freaking me out here.
For the rest of you, those codes you may see are an artifact of our upgrade. I am hoping they go away soon as I tweak some settings and make sure the upgrade is complete.

Yes, yes, BSA--excellent. Just keep distracting them. "Software upgrade artifact," I like it. Don't worry about it, everyone, look the other way, it's just a "software upgrade artifact."

" " seems to indicate a double space...... Somehow, the one thing I learned in typing class was to double space between sentences. I am seeing a lot of " " everywhere.

Oh come on. Can't a guy bat the mouse around on his FPOD? I kind of liked the image of Frank Zappa arguing with Claire Berlinski.

Forget it Claire. My neighbor, who sports an aluminum foil fedora, tells me the folks on Oxaeoecusp are governed by the faculty of Harvard, and labor under a one-world economy that punishes any accumulation of phlegm (for some reason that is their currency) beyond the exiguous government-mandated maximum with an exorbitant phlegm tax. I'm just as disappointed as you, since every morning I would awaken on Oxaeoecusp a wealthy man.

Re: ! ! Earth to Oxaeoecusp! I Repeat, ! ! Come in, Wo'buf!
is HTML for "drop me a non-breakable space here". HTML likes to swallow all white space (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, line feeds) down to a single space. If you want a second space, say, at the end of a sentence, the site editing software sticks in a to get you that second space. Unless of course it is tryptophan-addled from too much Thanksgiving turkey (or is it Turkey?), at which point it starts spewing the silly things this way and that.
Welcome to my world, I have served much time supervising the development of Internet applications.

Re: ! ! Earth to Oxaeoecusp! I Repeat, ! ! Come in, Wo'buf!
LOL. My last message did not behave as expected, but does break the editor so I can't fix it. Read that first sentence as: & nbsp; is HTML for ..., and that fourth line as: site editing software sticks in a & nbsp; to get you that second space, but without a space following the &s.

So the non-breaking space is code used to phone home to the aliens, eh? I don't want to know what I've been sending them all these years with all the HTML I've written.
