Comments on: Service Interruption http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/7186.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

I for one don't like it, but I'm glad you do since I don't know how to deactivate it. I would much prefer if the developers stopped adding features to the software and instead worked mainly on fixing bugs. Instead they keep adding things and inevitably introduce security flaws that must be fixed by additional time-consuming upgrades. I suppose this is the cost of "free" software.

I just got a "you've already said that, we're deleting your second comment" message. Wonderful! For people like me that have limited patience, it is often demonstrated by my stupid double commenting. Is this new? It seems like a great addition. Jonathan.

Everything published from now on should look OK. I should add that the problem is only with old posts, so contributors should not hesitate to publish new posts.

Maybe the default settings for encoding formatting characters (apostrophes, dashes, italics, etc.) changed. I can correct the problem by editing individual posts, but I am looking for a fix that I can apply easily to the entire database.

For example the first sentence on faddish leftism is weird characters – in this sentence, for example…
