	Uchann, please.. I know you probably wanted to make a nice looking fic with 
lots of lovely fonts and styles, but for the sake of people who don't have 
cutting edge hard/software, you need to convert your fics to standard ASCII 
text. Preferably the 7 bit (128 character set) ASCII text format.

	Some of those codes confused all the browsers I tried. The &rsquo; code WAS 
obvious, given it's position in various contractions.. some fancy version of 
the right apostrophe. But the &hellip; one? I couldn't figure that one out 
on a bet.

	So please.. next post, no matter how much it pains you.. keep the HTML'ized 
version for your web page and make a TEXT-ONLY version for posting to the
list.

	Sorry to rant, but it IS frustrating.
