Typography convention doesn't apply here. This is a usenet group, and
different conventions apply. Underlining and italicizing are completely
separate entities here and each is applied in its own way!
_A pair of underscores will underline_
/A pair of fwd-slashes will italicize/
*And a pair of asterisks will boldface*
(On a decent newsreader anyway)
_/*Presumably different combinations of the above can be used, too.*/_
_/*What a nightmare for the resident old maid typesetter! */_
