Ah, my old buddy Mark. I could tell stories! But I’ll keep my mouth shut.

Moffet is probably one of the most talented nature photographers of our age. The fact that he knows a lot about his subject makes it so much better. Check out High Frontier for his rainforest canopy work.

I would guess because generally when you bracket something by using “*” the result is that everything in between is put into bold type set… but not here. Instead it seems to be cutting the word out and replacing it with a single * instead…

As it always seems to happen where a word would be emphasized I would assume it is a formatting issue between systems or programs…
