Some of us can't even spell our names in ASCII you know. If The point I complained about was not a name. > your software can't display my name that's your problem, not mine.

Those are Unicode characters 201C and 201D. ASCII has a quote mark (") which people have used successfully for 100 years on typewriters. A constant urge to change standards used in communications that do not need them does not help anyone. I might feel differently if this were the typography newsgroup. But this is Ada, whose discussion can work quite well without graphics.
