 I doubt it. That's for just a dot with nothing else.
I tried an email and a post here with the text that
acted up on the Mozilla server and there was no
problem. The Mozilla post seemed to be OK when
I switched from | to > for commenting. Either
that or the Mozilla people had already fixed their
server.

  So then I wondered whether there might be some
arcane relationship with | and . But I can't find any
in a search. And the . didn't even follow on the
next line from the |. So my best guess is that the
Mozilla server has a bug in the way it parses posts,
inadvertently doing something that wasn't intended.
