-> There are plenty of editors that function in a manner not all like.

Recently with the newer java script editors for synchronet, I find this
happens all the time. One of the authors tried to fix it for me, to his
credit. He fixed the chainsaw problem, but it then started to pull words
together, when used as a quote in a reply. Kinda like this.

And You are right Carol. Things are getting a bit sloppy out there with
the editors. You as well as I may remember this, it must be something
that is tough to work with and may cause problems. Remember when Tim
Strike fixed this in Telegard? There was actually an option in system
setup where You could choose to have the regular quote or the one that
fixed the chainsaw effect. Not being a programmer, I don't know what it
involves, but it may be difficult to fix or they just don't understand
what some are talking about when it is reported.

Have a good One!
