Okay, in light of three votes in favor of including the issue number, I'm more than happy to be that much less picky and let it go. Besides the two comments on-list, I also got a good off-list argument, pointing out that citation software (Endnotes) includes the issue number, and that getting rid of it requires the user to edit it out of all of the database entries used. Are there any good arguments for continuing to be picky about this and requiring students to omit the issue number?
