I always felt bad for orphan headers, until I learned from Sally Struthers

Seriously, I think the rule you're talking about is one of those "because
we've always done it that way" conventions, and not worth making a big
deal about - trust me, your readers will NOT care. I'm much more in favor
of fitting the format to my content than vice versa, particularly when
trying to conform to a seemingly arbitrary rule starts costing me time and
effort in unneccessary text juggling.

Just another example of how I live on the edge.

don't even think you're ready to party with me until you've stacked a few
headings and maybe even split an infinitive or two.
