I understand you're super excited (and I have been there many times)
but it would be better to slow down and consolidate everything into one
post, with good formatting and no weird character replacements.
 
Use a test newsgroup to work out posting issues.
 
I suspect it might be your posting software which is replacing
certain characters with codes like <93> and <94>.
 
What is that? Decimal 93 and 94 do not correspond to ASCII
quotes, and neither do the hex Unicode points U+0093 and U+0094,
which are control characters.
 

x93 and x94 are the evil 'smart' (double)quotes (left and right) in
Microsoft CP1252, which lots of MSware and imitationware changes
automatically to make your text supposedly prettier. AFAICT web
browsers have conceded to this by treating things declared as 8859-1
as actually 1252 (affecting only C1 = x80 to x9F, little used in true
8859 OR Unicode). x91 and x92 are the similar singlequotes.
