RE: Spaces after full stop

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

On the bright side, it is something to talk about.  So Bill, for you, the
difference between one and two spaces is the difference between Pinot Noir
and Cognac?  What is a Cabernet Sauvignon drinker to do?  Maybe I should
just end my sentences with ellipses...  Or not.

I also think that it's funny that an accommodation for issues in typesetting
became a controversial issue about typing conventions after the original
issues ceased to exist.  I still like the two spaces convention because
lines of text begin to cross, like a basket weave pattern, when I read long
passages and the spaces help me find sentences.
