& was just my example character but replacing characters makes for 
incorrect data.  For instance 'Bob & Joe's Towing' is different from 
'Bob and Joe's Towing' and 'Bob + Joe's Towing'.  We want the data to be 
as accurate as possible.  It is a sublte distinction but if Bob and Joe 
want to use & in their company name then we shouldn't change it.
