Re: Style Guide standards: APA or the Chicago Manual of Style?

["Dick Margulis " <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net>]

Peter,

I'm as big a fan of style guides as you're likely to encounter here, and even I am appalled that you are tolerating such a battle. Assert your authority (they hired you as the writing expert), pick one, make everybody shut up and use it. End of story.

This should have taken less than thirty seconds to solve. Sheesh!
