Some of you may have noticed that if you type 5 hyphens in a row in your post that it will be replaced with a horizontal line when you submit it.

This really bothers some people, and they would like it to stop.  So this feature request is here as a poll to see how many people would support having it disabled.

Thank you for participating.

Interesting.. you learn something new every day.

I can't say that it bothers me though one way or the other.. maybe if I ever wanted to type a set of 5 hyphens on purpose I guess it might

To Jeff and anyone else who wants to see why I like to use dashes (hyphens) in my step by step instructions:

Click on "Smoked salmon" in my signature to see how I use them. A lot neater, easier to understand, and less of a PITA.

Then click on "Dried Beef" in my signature to see how I have to do it without them. Still Okay, but a pain in the gazoch! (excuse my lingo)

Yeah, I was thinking of dots (periods) too, but how do I teach my finger to use something that doesn't belong there..............

I voted "Yes" even though this is my first post. I have never tried to type any post before so obviously I have not run into the problem with the hyphen thing but, Bear is my Dad and my ear is still bleeding from hearing him yelling about it on the phone. 

Oh and by the way I know Bear better then all of you guys so knowing how much this bothers him, I can tell you if he found out that the guy in mythmasters picture was to blame for the hyphens changing into a line he better be willing to use that shotgun instead of just holding it up to look tough.
