I like that but the * thing greys it out. Still readable though, and I think clearer than X's.

Gotta put those lines in to start each one off so it doesn't grey.
Trying out the # instead of %

Just realized I goofed. I took off the piece in the lower right corner. I thought you had taken two of mine. Sorry.

dashes work just dandy for me as well... and would obviate the need for brackets.
