You know, for a long time, I've used "Serial Commas, Pro or Con: A Panel
Discussion" as my archetype for a boring STC chapter presentation of the
type we've all sat through on more than one occasion. I may use "One Space
or Two after a Full Stop: the In-Depth Story" as the follow-up example. :)
Tim is right. We've dragged the full stop discussion out gracefully by the
heels. Let us move forward; I'm sure we can discuss how many Adobe fonts
can fit on the head of a pin or something.
Yours truly,
