Lessons from this post:

1. If you're going to swear, don't use an asterisk to try and make it look good. We can take it, honest.

2. Something in between two asterisks on HN gets shown in italics.

Huh. Yep, all I did was use the asterixesses. Clearly the site was offended by my attempt at modesty.

You can edit it. It's a weird nitpick, but it actually detracts from the legibility.
