Hi Frank I'm not technically minded. The Op post appeared on my computer
complete with "pound" signs.
Which is what I said in my reply where indeed ,it does read on my computer
as "pounds". However on your reply, my pound sign reads as question
marks.


Frank's point, which is a good one, is that the message only appears with a
pound sign on some computers, because it was incorrectly done (the fault of
the newsreader used by the original poster, which is broken software).

For other people the symbol would not show up correctly.

Remember, just because it worked on your computer doesn't mean it worked on
everyone's. If it was done right, it would have worked on everyone's.
