As expected, Skinner has decided to side with the Corporate Oppressors on this issue

He blames HTML and says 'There is nothing we can do'.

Come on Skinner I know EarlG can program! Give us back our great pause between our thoughts and bring back that 2nd space that we all take such precious moments of our life to create and bring into the world each time we end our sentence with the appropriate punctuation. Be the 'Wind beneath our Wings' and give us our Hope between our Doubts. Two Spaces rule forever!!!

Let the bells of freedom ring out! Let there be choice! Let there be peace and love and excessive pauses for those who want them!

I don't need no dirty stinking commas!

(Although I am not pro-double-space, I will admit that there can be much benefit to the blank space. Bill Watterson taught me that.)
