> Folks, please do not use the "cute" character that you think makes the
> number Zero in a call look like a "slashed zero".  They two characters
> are not the same and are not interchangeable.  Computers read them as
> two separate things, which means they get sorted and stored as a
> different call and may get overlooked.  If you can, please help spread
> this to other reflectors and newsletters.  It will help us serve you
> better.
