I understand you're super excited (and I have been there many times)
but it would be better to slow down and consolidate everything into one
post, with good formatting and no weird character replacements.

Use a test newsgroup to work out posting issues.

I suspect it might be your posting software which is replacing
certain characters with codes like <93> and <94>.

What is that? Decimal 93 and 94 do not correspond to ASCII
quotes, and neither do the hex Unicode points U+0093 and U+0094,
which are control characters.

Find a decent news client. Many people use Mozilla Thunderbird, which is
an e-mail program that wants to be an newsreader when it grows up, but
people seem to do okay with it.  I wouldn't use it myself, but I suspect
it could do a better job for you than what you're using now.

> --------------=  Posted using XXXXXX  =----------------

Proper news posting software does not add its own signature
to your article body. It uses X headers to announce its name
and version, which are missing in your post.

Moreover, signatures are set apart by a line containing "-- "
(hyphen, hyphen, space).

The authors must be stupendous ignoramuses, which explains
the <93> stuff.

P.S. I put XXXXX over the software's name in the quote above because my
news server rejects the post otherwise as spam; it thinks I'm posting
something with that software, which is evidently used by spammers.
