x_sf_med,

I regret that I must inform you that a grammar rule that I too have long held as sacrosanct is no longer. It apparently went the way of the typewriter; never mind that I can't seem to keep myself from doing it anyway. I learned to type on a manual carriage return typewriter and old fingers have a hard time learning new tricks.

FMI, see http://www.webword.com/reports/period.html
