Now we all atribute their origin and use to our very own Flytrapgurl, but I have seen them used in other places, leading me to believe that there is another source. Does anybody know what that source is? Inquiring minds....
They're used for quoting (or de-quoting, I suppose) actions, such as writing *sigh* instead of "I'm sighing." I first picked up on them after playing online text-based games (like MUDs,) but I don't know where they came from. Probably old interactive text-based communication protocols.
