It's my understanding that asterisks are used, not in place of "quotation
marks" (which can be used in e-mail), but rather as a substitute for
boldface, italics, underlining, or other means of adding stress or emphasis
to written text -- devices which e-mail does not support.
Otherwise, I agree with the posting.
