 * Hello all,
 * A bug of sorts has appeared on my site. Comments work fine for site visitors,
   but if I want to **edit** a comment that has already been submitted. WordPress
   somehow adds “escape” characters beside each quote mark and apostrophe, **including
   in URIs**.
 * Clearly, whatever filter thatb WordPress uses to ensure valid code, is being 
   applied at the wrong point or perhaps twice. Can anyone suggest why this might
   be happening? I haven’t installed any plug-ins which change the comments in any
   way.

 * I’m kind of new in this wp thing, and I have not played much with it yet. However
   your problem makes me thing of the option you will find under Options->Writing
   that tells wp to correct invalidly nested HTML tags or something like that.
    
   Do you have that option checked? If you do, then try unchecking it. Just a thought.
   I hope it helps.

 * update to 2.0.4, or install the tuneup plugin.
 * Youre much better updating, btw.. read this:
