Dear Admins and Mods, I have a complaint about DU.

[Robb]

I find it completely unacceptable that the software works so poorly. Specifically the italicizing of stuff. Observe:

...
...

Notice anything? No, you didn't. In fact, it's going on all over this forum, whether with ellipses or merely periods.

That's right. None of the periods are ever getting italicized.

Such an obvious flaw in the programming leads me to believe you are all a bunch of chowder-heads. In fact, I'm going to vote for Bush this November simply because your lack of attention to this divisive issue.

P.S. -- I am not a crackpot.

1. (distancing myself fast) You're REALLY asking for it, Robb. :-) eom

[twistedliberal]

2. Aren't the italicized ones a little farther to the left?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

5. You mean like Commie-left?!

OMG...Stalinist periods? This is shameful!

[ProudGerman]

7. He's absolutely right

One of your sets of periods are a few pixels to the left of the other one (or to the right, whichever is your point of reference).

Either way, this proves once and for all, Robb is a dingbat.





















:P

3. I noticed - the first set of ellipses were italicized.

Who couldn't see that for gosh sakes?

Robb, use a different font, you know, one that has an italicized subset?

Sheesh, some people.

Mods - pay no never mind, I think we've solved this one.

<Ducking for cover>

Edit: What the heck is sheese?

4. They can't retroactively italicize the periods

The periods are each little dynamite charges, designed to bring the whole place down, should an airliner slam into DU HQ

/has nothing

6. HAY!!!...What gives you the right to diss Italians?

I'll have you know, Mr. SmartyPants, that Italians have periods also.

[citizen snips]

8. Big deal.

So what if a period is not italicized you are not going to lose any sleep over it.
