lovely. Curt made the "Authors" section five times. twice in
the top 10. but adding all his posts together, he may as well
have been #1. it's sad to see RAB come to this: Curt posts more
than anyone else.

david, when i agree with curt, you have a problem.
if you're going to ignore him, do so. the most pathetic plonks
are the ones that need to be posted about more than once - even once is
too much. killfile silently if you mean it. all you're doing now is
INdirectly giving him the negative attention he craves instead of giving
it directly. the former is somehow more annoying.

This is where, however infrequently, but, yeah, once again,
you're wrong. While I do enjoy the argumentative nature of
RAB, I don't crave negative attention per se.

And if _pls teach him to kill file_ is number five

Didn't he correct someone's spelling recently?
And hasn't anyone told him that there's just a
single space after a period? What year is this?
Don't take my word for it. Pick up a copy of
the Chicago Manual of Style or The Elements of
Typographic Style.

I wouldn't know about periods. I put two after a full stop.
Holy moley Curt, how low can a person sink on Usenet. Spelling flames are
bad enough, grammar flames are downright despicable, but typography flames?
Really, man.

That was 1986 and on a manual typewriter.
I only commented because David made a spelling
correction elsewhere in this ng. Lame for lame.
Two spaces after a period while using a computer
is equivalent to actually doing the repeat after
the shampoo and rinse.
Okay, but unnecessary.

Hmm, to be a pedant it is sometimes necessary on my hair, which is thick and
long. Hard to get clean the first time around, especially if I have styling
product buildup.

Check the MLA Handbook. The APA Guidebook. And visit a high school or
middle school and talk to the literature teachers. Two spaces after a
full stop. If the period is in a block of words a character (or perhaps
a quotation of a person) then there is only 1 space. But general text
requires two spaces after a period. The Chicago Style Manual, so far as
I am aware, is the only style that calls for a single space after a
period. Which makes sense since it was developed by and for reporters.
Space is money. Save a space on each sentence? For an entire newspaper
that's a good bit of space saved to add in more advertising. So while
you are technically correct in the sense that there is a style manual
that agrees with you, you must also consider that the Chicago style is
not an accepted style by common standards. In fact, when I went to UCF
the only two styles allowed (even in journalism classes) were the APA
and MLA. APA was only acceptable for Psychology courses.

Take a breath.
And did you check your source, Jimmy Olsen?
Take heart, though, they do cut you some slack
in the final sentence.

How's that being a pedant? It's your language,
after all, clue me in.

Oh, you poor thing. <g>
I love my shaved head, but would also love to
know what *that*'s like. If only for one day.

On topic bodyart: I visited your page and was
wondering which tattoos were originally there.
Curious which ones were weaved into the current
design. And is that the current design? Any
updates available?
HOLY FUCK! How low can I stoop? I'm actually
commenting on tattoos.
C'mon, god damn it. If you don't exhibit a sense
of humor, I'll shove sausages up each nostril
and stand on my head over there by the carrot
juice bar until I turn blue.

You up? Let's take a peek: http://www.apa.org/
Jump to one of the papers found there:
http://gradpsych.apags.org/sep04/research.cfm#perception
Displays one space after each period, Greg.

One space. But, again, that doesn't count, right?
At least, by visiting the APA online, I found
a link to something interesting:

That $600 billion figure may just be the tip of

I wonder how many tattoos have been lost as
a result of amputations and burns. Of course,
that's insignificant when compared to a soldier's
life or their ability (or, hell, necessity) to
tie their own shoes.

Pssst. I believe that what you're doing, at least
according to some, is called providing the negative
attention that I so crave.

The small entwined roses and the dragonfly on the chest were originally
there.
You know nothing of my sense of humour. I will admit though that it's
pretty dormant right now because I have a stinking cold and that does tend
to make one a bit self-indulgently miserable.

Who gives a rat's fucking ass? I still use two spaces as that is what
the majority of publications still want to see when you are submitting
work.
And, really in the greater scheme of things what does it matter? Are
those extra spaces really harming anyone?
Save the whitespace, bitches.

Um, Eric is a big man, he would be listed as 4F due to his size. He's
not being drafted.

Like speeling, I rilly dOn'T give a fook oar a

I was just messing with David.
Someone corrected me about spacing after a period
in an email several months if not years ago. I
thought they were cracked, but then I checked
into it and, yeah, it's not necessary.
Whatever floats yer boat.

It's doubtful that anyone will be drafted
although the numbers of casualties is,
unfortunately, mounting.

every death is sad, I did see an interesting bumper sticker
yesterday
"Who would Al Qaeda members vote for?"
I'm just saying, fuck em all elect Dan Rather everyone
knows already that he is a lying Sack-O-Shit(tm)
and before any flames start it is also spelled Al Quaeda,
it's your nose, you pick it..

I'm wondering who a terrorist would vote for.
Bush has his heels dug in on Iraq. If I was a
terrorist home-based anywhere other than Iraq, I
guess I'd be lining up early to vote for Bush.
"Yeah. At least now I know what country to avoid.
Thank you, George!"
Not sure that Kerry will do a better job, but I
can't see how he could do much worse. And there's
the question of Supreme Court justices. The idea
of Dubya appointing any of those really makes me
twitch.
Bush? No.
