Me too... that's what I thought .
it doesn't really matter. They're all nerdisms, and using them in a
photography mailing list is bad manners. Nerds very often assume that
everyone else in the world is equally nerdy and knows all their nerdisms.
This is one of the reasons why so many user interfaces are so irredeemably
crap.

Growing up in the world of plain text emails, I can't see anything wrong
with using a plain text _underline_ for empahsis.
Since I am writing in a plain text format , I can't make italics and on
a plain text email list they won't show up anyway .
Bob, are you just cranky today?
