It definitely has something to do with quotation marks.

When I use these " " everything is fine.

When I copy & paste from Microsoft office, the weird symbols come up.

It started on election night. Must be a Bush/Rove/NOW conspiracy.

This is an early warning sign that the Democrats have taken over the Internet.

"Klaatu barada nikto."

Would you kindly quit quoting Nancy Pillosi's mutha? You know what that means, don'tcha? Be careful! Don't type that out here on FR, or else!!!

I have been seeing that stuff on some of my genealogy forums for quite some time. It is annoying because it takes the place of the poster and who they are posting about. Sometimes, the whole line is like that. Makes no sense.
