Yes, much better. I've written like this for as long as I've been using computers, and I'm not even aware usually, of hitting the space bar twice.

The slightly increased spacing between sentences makes them more readable, and it's not just über-pedants like George and myself that claim this.

Almost all books and newspapers use a typographic convention that separates sentences more than words. It's not necessarily by doubling the space, but the gap is bigger, and for good reason.

Not sure I'd go as far as to type   though.

Is this in Windows Explorer, or some other application?

Ok, I'll rephrase...

Among other things, the thresholds are daft aren't they

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, at the end of the Universe.

(The first ten million years were the worst. The next ten million years, they were the worst too. After that I went into a bit of a decline.)

Top marks to SRS.

I noticed the 300 quid reduction on that too. I wonder if the lower price is going to be around for a while.

I'm starting to think that the 18-135 that I got with the K-5, and my beloved SMC-A F5.6 400mm would go a very long way towards making that OS Bigma affordable.

I thought you got extra bonus points for ambiguity?

I take your point, but there are people suffering all over the world, dying unnecessarily in wars, famines, from trivial diseases, etc etc etc.

It's all very sad, but there it is.

Not that you were for a moment suggesting that I should, but I'm not suddenly going to sell my camera gear and give it to charity, sorry. This is a photographic forum, and the impact of world disasters is relevant to the supply of photographic gear.

I'm not moralising about Nikon and Canon's lost revenue, I'm concerned for things relevant to me, such as SRS's continued success.

It may sound callous, but I have only so much room in my head to worry about the world's woes.

Worksop.

I really like 2 and 9.

2 for the texture and colour - everywhere you look there's interest and detail.

9 for the minimalism. The beach line - with the parallel gentle wave - takes my eye out to the distance, and the horizon continues around. Then, where normally a great expanse of flat sea can look very dull and featureless, between the angle formed by the beach and the horizon, the subtle gradation in colour brings my eye right back to the foreground. Very satisfying.
