Question Punctuation

[gessoo]

Why do the questions omit any punctuation put in by the questionner, even though it shows up when you open up the question. I noticed it the other day when I raised a question myself and on the following link it made the question entitled 'very cross' seem ridiculous.

A boy of 34 years old crossing the road all by himself, eh! Tut tut. ;o)

that was making me smile too - until i opened the question proper, poor old miss_me (our local AB heroine)

Lol, yeah I saw the 34 bit as well and thought "eh?"

Mind you I think "eh?" over alot of questions here so didn't ponder it............

I've always wondered this too gessoo!

It looks rather silly when someone posts that they are a size 12/14 & it appears as 1214!!!
