I am having other weird phenomema with my new OSX Mac on the web in addition to my inability to create carriage returns in TBN messages, unless I post the message and then go back and edit it (which I will have to do with this one).
Another weirdness is that sometimes two particular symbols show up in text instead of what would be some normal punctuation mark. One symbol is like a lowercase "i" with a caret (^) over the top of it. The other symbol is like an uppercase O with two dots (like a German umlaut) over it.Both of these phenomena show up frequently in posts by John Miller. I have copied this excerpt from one of his recents posts:

Good Morning Thomas…Thanks for the reminder… this is our coffee brewer for the shop… also one of the “exotic brands” coffee our shop purchased a few years back…One correction is we have the DeLonghi Brewer with cappuccino on the side not espresso… {see how high tech I ain't...?}Thomas… didn’t you post a picture of your John Deere and Kubota coffee cups… or was that someone else…?</font color=blue>
There is one example of the i-caret after the word "brands". There are 8 occasions of the O-umlaut, including one after each "Thomas". I hope these show up in my post.
I see these occasionally in other text I read here or on other websites. I never saw this on my PC.
More weirdness. I used Copy to copy the John Miller quote above from the Coffee thread, which I pasted into this message in blue. But when I continued to the TBN preview box, THE ENTIRE COFFEE THREAD that preceeded John's message was pasted into this message. I could not delete these extraneous messages with my Delete key, but got rid of them with Cut.
Any thoughts from those of you who are exercising the poor judgment to read this thread?
