That assumes that BOLD was the desired effect.  It wasn't.

Several days back,
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1253147121
you pitched a fit about the number of carriage returns inserted into your post
by the forums HTML auto-parser.
I was calling attention to one of the ways to avoid that
(an unmatched ending tag in the middle of the offending word).

Another word that gets special treatment here
(treatment of a heinous nature) is JavaScript.
The trick I demonstrated is especially handy for that instance
--where nothing else will work without altering the appearance of the text.
