Phin,
Just my opinion, but the double-space thing is weak sauce. It's not completely valueless in hypothesis testing, but nearly so.
As a slight asside, I think I remember from typing class (and I learned, under great duress, on a manual typewriter) that double-spaces were appropriate in separating sentences.
Your point is well taken, for I did take typing in HS in the late 70's, and a DS was indeed the norm at the beginning of a sentence, as well as before the Zip Code.
But, what I have done is spend Bryan's quarter and offer up a clue. Jody is over 60 years old and has been typing her entire life, but doesn't use a DS. It's a hard habit to break, one I chose in breaking while writing online early on.
A much younger person would probably not use DS in their pennings, yet there's a handful of BFL diehards at such a tender age choosing to do so.
Josh is well versed...I repeat, Josh is well versed in creating discontent online to further an agenda. This fact is well documented.
