Sorry, I haven’t figured how to italicize quotes. I don’t mind getting slammed if someone thinks I believe in open borders.
I enjoy a good slam now and then , deserved or otherwise, around here, ya get used to it. Keeps ya on your toes. ;-)
If you do not put the carroted p, your next text will be right on the heels of the italicized portion, like this
holy smokes, I did not want my normal text on this text line. I wanted a space after it....
