    Can someone please explain to me why the markers (♣) in my titles are being edited out? Both of the above two nodes had their titles edited w/o my consent and (from what I can tell) w/o a documented request to an editor. If this is a site policy and is applied fairly across the board, thats one thing... If only certain people get the privilege of marking their nodes with special chars, thats really a shame. ;-(

      I treated them as a typo, and editing them out. If you had logged in, I would have /msg'd you privately, and asked you to stop with the typographic junk in titles. Given your knowledge of protocol, I assume you do have a login (and I'm reasonably certain who you are), but you chose to come in anonymously. So log in already, and plead your case here.

    out on a limb

    If anything, the "single char dohickey's" should be reserved for saints. Other monks should settle for using the "(foo)" notation. If your posts are important/frequent enough for you to want to track them, Create a new user.

    Why? How many dohickey's are there?
