Something weird is going on with bolding followed by use of underscore. For example:

ETA: I just noticed that cousin_it's

There should be an underscore between "cousin" and "it's", but instead the underscore doesn't appear and "it's" is italicized. Hmm, it's not happening here, but was happening in http://lesswrong.com/lw/13o/fairness_and_geometry/yw4 until I removed the underscore.

You need to escape it to avoid its interpretation as a markup element.

Thanks. I suggest we add a link to the full comment formatting guide from the drop-down help that appears when you click on the "Help" link at the bottom of a comment box. I think most people probably assume that the drop-down help is all that's available.
