No problem.
Anent 'curly quotes' - if you wrote this in Word and have 'smart quotes' on, it does directional quotes.
Directional quotes mess up many an online tool. Just go in the options and turn 'em off. It's all Microsoft's fault, nobody wants those things.

Well, I have just spent twenty minutes of my life going through and amending directional quotes to straight quotes. It better have been worth it TRiG because I cannot see any difference from my end.
I do, however, sometimes see a "7" instead of an apostrophe, not in this piece but in others. Any ideas??

And, Magwitch, just going back to your comment. Wow! you've read all the tales!! A big thank you. You may be the only one though. (Except for MVP and DG who do it out of duty. Oh and B'Elana who does it out of masochism!!) Anyway thanks, and watch this space, I'll try something new next time.
