I’m sorry, but the garbage characters in these posts in the last few days is really getting to be a pain. BFAC, I know that this is not just you, but several posts. Does anyone know what is going on? Is this part of the recent “FR attack site” business?

And they always seem to be on key words...lol

Matthew, the characters are bad! What is going on??? Someone did say that it is part of that recent “FR attack site” message from Google.

It’s a glitch.

Notice the characters show up instead of punctuations nainly when text is copied and pasted.

” ‘ , etc

It is being worked on.

If you look carefully, you can clearly see that garbage characters in posts are clearly caused by copy-pasting content from a site that is not correctly parsed by the posting engine here. Its not a recent phenomenon. Its been like that always. You’ll often see the same thing in email at work if your mail client isn’t parsing messages correctly.

I’m posting the first two paragraphs from the article as copied from the source web site here. I expect it to look the same as in the post above.

The liberal left has notoriously attacked the saying “Merry Christmas” during the holidays and has fought to keep the saying out of public places, ostensibly so as not to offend atheists, Muslims and other non-Christians.

With the holiday season just around the corner, there will undoubtedly be more liberal attacks against Christians, and more retailers saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” The sacredness of Christmas will be further assaulted, but one political candidate, in particular, won’t give in to the left’s anti-Christmas campaign.
