Wish I knew why Yahoo can't handle a common dash ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Em_dash ), and instead replaces it with the ugly and nonsensical "â€"" I forget it from time to time, and thus uses it, and it always annoys me when I see the result. I mean, I have no trouble understanding if (when) international sites can't handle the specific Swedish characters (it can be a problem too, but I understand it). But a dash? Come on, Yahoo, you can do better!love/Reb>> I almost literally stumbled over this owl today.

And it is fascinating that THIS post of mine was delayed with about 10 hours, while all the rest went through without a problem. But I'll, to quote a friend, go take my case for a walk (it's her version of "rest my case").love/Reb> >> > I almost literally stumbled over this owl today.
