   "!" is actually the earliest printing ASCII code; "_" is some way down   
   the list, though some OSs sort it to or near the top.

   Unfortunately, your post as displayed here contains   
   "... special character.   Underscore ..." - i. e., the special character   
   did not display. Even using "View Source" I can't see what was there, so   
   it's been stripped before reaching me.
