1. This is the Introductions thread. The grammar thread properly belongs elsewhere.

2. A point has been made about the use of correct grammar.

3. Not everyone here has the benefit of advanced education.

4. I am a two space guy as well, but we are belaboring a very small point in the big scheme of things. For example, the board code reduces double spaces to single, so it is impossible to tell who is complying, or even cares.

5. Try to remain focused, and keep the larger purpose of the board and this thread in mind.

6. X, you can bring your "Harbrace Handbook" and "Elements of Style" over to my place for grammar and style arguments anytime.

7. On with the introductions, and try to keep them readable.
