I fail to see what your post has to with the clitoral hood, let alone the clitoris itself, Anon.

Quite frankly - if ye want tae write about food, there are many forums online, such as this one :)

But dinnae let that put ye off writing hereon, philistine! :))

To be honest, methinks a Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, etc rant* would have the same effect.

*Since when did a significant philosophical contribution equal a rant? :)

P.S. I edited thrice, so you don't have to: if ye want to start a clause with an asterisk and not see it posting as a forward arrow, just insert a space before the asterisk.

It's another Thorntree formatting quirk.

If you try to use an asterisk as a bullet, it can turn into a funnly-looking open "greater than" sign

  • one
  • two
  • three

That happens if you put a space between the asterisk and the word.

If you stick the asterisk right next to the word, you get an asterisk

*one
*two
*three

Of course, the real thing to do is to use genuine bullets. I have no idea how to do this on a PC keyboard. On a Mac, it's OPT-8

•one
•two
•three

Nutrax - as e'er, yer very helpful.

I find: if ye put an asterisk right after the word, like asterisk* it works OK.

But, ye need to add a space, if ye wish to point out what the asterisk means when repeating the asterisk. The issue isn't repeating it, it's putting it before a word or phrase - this alone, ime, results in the mathematical greater than sign.
