O.K. - I know that they are not random... but the Dots that appear on the first story of a group on my RSS feed... as well as before an image... as well as other places just seem downright irritating.

I know it has something to do with the <ul> or the <?php or something... but I am not sure what, and experimentation has gotten me very little except how to make the dot an outline rather than solid.

I am wondering if anyone knows what can be done to eliminate the dots that show up...

Also... on a related issue... why does the RSS feeds replace apostraphes with question marks?

as in it?s very irritating that it does this.
