Yes, they should, so nyaa - nyaa to you, too! <g>

Well, that is the difference. When I care, it is because DTP is  
exactly what I am doing. My deep, dark secret is that I am a  
marketing guy by training (hold the tar & feathers, please). Doing  
Web work allows me to bring back that side of my life. A lot of my  
objections are because the copy is going into a DTP program.

Now let's talk about other crimes against nature, like  
<period><space><space> between sentences, or the one that separates  
the men from the boys: (cue the scary music): tabbed columns! Nobody  
knows how to do them, so some lines end up with one tab between  
columns, the same column in the next line has 2 tabs. Really ugly. I  
have a 200-line Word macro to clean up the garbage before importing  
the text into DTP.
