I would like to figure out why it's happening to people - had you changed anything in your profile recently?
If it's a matter of people accidentally changing it I'm inclined to simply remove that field from the profile. I just want to make sure there isn't something else going on.
it was 'fixed' when I got your reply, then it flipped back to gibberish, then i changed my profile and it 'fixed' again...hmmmmm...no profile changes recently, so I don't think that's it...THANK YOU!! j
