                Interesting - and somewhat disconcerting - that
                you ask!

                It's my way of showing =emphasis=.

                Conventional e-mail practice is to use asterisks
                or dashes for *emphasis*  or -emphasis- or some-
                times even _emphasis_.

                But -- equal signs are easier (for me) to key
                and look better on-screen - IMHO.

                BTW - although seldom seen this use of equals
                was not originated by me.

                                - - - - - - - -

                The inner implication of your post is that
                the tone and pace of much of my carefully
                crafted prose has escaped appreciation !  :-<
