in reply to Preview/Post with character

There are good reasons not to allow [ and ] (and other special characters) in the titles; but they should be weeded out when you hit preview.

You'll note that a few threads have names like "TTuse strict/TT" because someone tried to put <TT> tags in their title. Possibly this should generate a warning to call the monk's attention to their transgression.

    The next reply is a test to see which characters are "special" in titles.
