BTW, all you have to do to keep it from appearing in your post is to go back through any TEXT you CUT AND PASTE and delete the offending character (such as an apostrophe) and the SPACE after it (which helps identify which ones are a problem) and replace it with just an apostrophe.

Your post will then appear normally.

You can also copy the text from the source, paste it into Notepad or TextEdit ( straight txt editor), copy again and paste into FR editor. That will strip out all special characters. Pain in the butt, but will work until they figure it out.

Except that this is a colossal pain in the keister, especially for any long posts.
