a Modest Request to the Moderator or Webmaster

When we fill in these posts we are given the opportunity of editing as HTML or NOT editing as HTML.  Please honor our choice.

 

What am I talking about?

 

This post I am editing as plain text.  But when I type a " next to a ), it does not show up that way.  It shows up as ").

 

You have no idea how many people are trying to make a parenthetical statement and up winking at the rest of us.  This goes beyond inconvenient.  It destroys meaning and confuses readers and irritates posters.

 

My example is but one of many.  It we have chosen to write in plain text, the recoding into html should reflect exactly what we have said; and embedded HTML in terms of fonts and smileys should not impact the rest of the post.

 

Pretty please ....
