(btw, I tried to do a multi-quote of both of you, i.e., two consecutive "quote=user"' - and that doesn't work - the post previews as blank...is there a trick to that?)

Thanks to both of you.
You mean, like this? :)

There's a bug in the preview post where, if there are non-standard characters it won't display them. In this case, it was the apostrophe that Dave used in "I've already..." (I changed it in this post).

Yes, that's what I'm talking about - at first I didn't get it about the apostrophe, and the I realized you'd replaced the "other" apostrophe with the standard one (don't do that, Dave! :) ).

I'm assuming it's just the preview that has the bug, and it will still post properly?

Thanks!

If you don't preview first I know it will post properly, but if you do a preview first, you have an empty box and it won't let you post, so you have to go "back" and find the non-standard characters and replace them, or just don't preview.

Got it.

(Can these posts be moved? Feel like I've polluted this topic. I'd say delete them, but your responses might be helpful to others)
