I get some strange results if I copy and paste from the article here
http://www.firstthings.com/article.php3?id_article=486

It's different (naturally) depending upon what browswer I'm copying from:

Windows:
From Firefox, the first two lines of the main article (after the copyright notice) are overwriting each other (two lines of text on top of each other).

From Internet Imploder 7 the copyright gets pasted, then a blank line and then nothing else!


Macintosh:
From Safari the copyright gets pasted, then a blank line and then nothing else!

From Firefox the entire article is pasted but none of the html formatting comes over.

From Opera, the first two lines of the main article (after the copyright notice) are overwriting each other (two lines of text on top of each other).


I can only image the headaches from all this. I'm just the messenger. :)
