Re: I'm afraid it's true - you're the idiot, but at least I'm offering an explanation inside: (not as to why you're an idiot, but why you misinterpreted it, i can just put you being an idiot down to your parents or something) [and after this long subject, there's more text inside]

I'm sure a lot of you know this already, but it's obvious some don't, so here we go:

An html tag is identified to the web browser by the use of pointy brackets as you can see above the , and . keys
CF also incidentally uses these same brackets to denote a body part in the equipment list
Your web browser sees these pointy brackets in the message and thinks "Oh! Here's a command for me to process... Well, I don't know what a WORN AROUND NECK command is, I'll just ignore this entirely"
As such, the body parts don't appear in the message and people look like they don't know what they're talking about

The moral of this story is to double check your posts and replace all those pointy brackets with [ ] or ( ) or SOMETHING :)
