Problems with ls and ll investigated

Right. I've looked at the geeklog 1.1 script a bit, and apparently in plain text comments it eats slashes twice (so \\\\\\\\ becomes \\), and in html comments it eats slashes three times (so \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ becomes \\). When previewing, slashes are eaten once for plain and twice for html in the textarea, so when doing preview you should copy your text and re-paste before confirming the preview.

Whoa, that's even weirder. What's shown in the preview area apparently isn't quite what goes into the saved comment. Hmmm.... Anyway, I guess it eats once for plain text and twice for html, so \\ becomes \ in plain text and \\\\ becomes \ in html
