I do and do and do for you kids and what kind of data do you give me?

While I'm still working out character encoding issues, people are submitting posts featuring curly "smart" quotes, symbols, and other high ascii crap that XML parsers can't handle.

You know who you are, too, you high-ASCII bastards, with your alt-key always at the ready and your ASCII table scribbled on a Post-it® note stuck to your monitor.

Shame on you people.

Heh. There's a silly "How good are you with a mouse?" game on this ascii page.
