- Perhaps you should follow the thread. Or even *read* what you are quoting.
- They are not criticizing her for having one space between sentences, they are
- criticizing her for having NO spaces between sentences.Like this.I'd suggest
- that the serious help you need is a good pair of glasses. I don't think that
- is within Dr. Kevorkian's expertise, but I'd welcome you to consult with him.
- I'm not much for flame wars, but when they make it *so* easy......
