Thank you, turq and I also want to apologize because coming back from the hospital I realized that telling a man he made a mountain out of a molehill is like when a man tells an upset woman that she's being emotional. Kind of stupid on my part. Anyway, there, I only put one space. Let's see what happens. How the heck am I gonna break that habit that's so ingrained in my cells?! I'm trainable but this just might be above and beyond my current level of neuroplastic development (-:

The  marks are being inserted by whatever program you're using to write to FFL. And to "be helpful," I think I know how you can stop it from doing so. The problem is the program's not yours per se, but you're causing it by typing two spaces after a period. That's an old convention from typewriters, something that is never used in actual publication, or (more relevant) in HTML. HTML will strip out double spaces and replace them with single spaces. So, in a misguided attempt to keep it from doing this, your program (probably Yahoo Mail) is, when you type two spaces in a row, replacing the first of them with a non-breaking space. This preserves the double-spacing in HTML, but unfortunately many browsers convert this non-breaking space to the  symbol we see all over your posts. As a guess, I'll bet that if you stopped typing double spaces after every period, the problem would go away. > ________________________________ > From: Xenophaneros Anartaxius <anartaxius@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2013 7:57 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: help again! > > Yes.
