Hi,
Thanks to Damon, David, Andreas, Robert, Heather, Ellen, Rebecca,
Charles, Sean, Kay, LaVonna, Mike, John, and Lori for your responses!
I knew I could count on you!
By overwhelming majority, the period is the preferred leader
character, followed closely by the meager blank space!
Some of you suggested periods followed alternately by spaces.
I have passed along the results of the survey to engineering and they
seemed happy to have your input.
Although you may not have much influence with your own engineers, you
can take heart that you may have had some influence with mine!
