A brief lesson on how to do bold or italics on this list:

This list supports html coding, and any poster, not just the moderators, can use italics or bold print in their posts without knowing a whole lot about that.   

When you make a post and you want to enclose something in italics, right before you want the italics to begin you place this EXACT symbol in your text: 

<i>

That means “begin italic.”  

When you want the italics to stop, you put this symbol

</i>

That means “end italic.”

When you want bold type to begin you do the same thing with a lower case b. 

You put a <b> where you want the bold type to begin, and a </b> where you want the bold to end.

If you want text to appear both bold and italics, you would not put the i and the b together inside one set of < and >, intead you would make two separate entries, <i><b> to begin, and </b></i> to end the bold italics. 

Also, because of this html coding feature, it is not a good idea to use the <> brackets for any other reason, such as <G> or <wink>.  Those will disappear on our message board.  Use regular parentheses instead to place these comments if you want to use them.

Italics and bold type can help a lot to distinguish who said what.
