I noticed. Sadly the double slashes is specific to WinPoint. It       doesn't benefit non-WinPoint users. But the asterisks for bold is more       universally adopted in other types of readers.                             ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Pointing In The Right Direction (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/624 854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
