You're a moron.

"Some fool escape code"??? LMAO! What are you going on about?

It's perfectly fucking simple, but I'll repeat it for the mentally
challenged anyway: Michelle's newsreader is fucked up; it's not using a
proper character encoding; nonstandard characters such as curly quotes
in her posts show up as other characters instead - in my case they're
appearing as superscript numerals.

Maccies get the fuck out. We don't have any patience for the mentally
retarded here in alt.music.mp3.
