Why is it that some of the posts are coming up as gibberish? When I copy your response it comes up correct in the response window but as gibberish again when I post.

Italics appear in his original post. That means he used HTML.
When you CUT and PASTE, the original HTML commands are not copied.
Ergo, no italics, and no paragraph breaks.
If you want his ‘text’ to appear exactly as it did in his first post, YOU must supply the proper HTML commands.
