Exactly. In fact, I hate having to put asterisks around names. It slows me
down and feels unnatural. Also, I'll admit that I wasn't sure if {martaq} was
in KGT or not. I really didn't want to scour the book for his name, and it IS
a KLBC message. I figured that asterisks couldn't hurt.
I'm very consistent in using {}s for Klingon text for a very similar reason.
I hate having to do it, but I can't send rich text messages over the list.
