We are denied the use of italics or underlining in newsgroup postings, so we resort to other conventions to emphasize a word or phrase. Some call them "emphasis quotes" and some call them "scare quotes".
"Emphatic quotation marks are usually mocked as an illiteratism; but in any case, they aren't standard"
Ironic :)
