	hitchhiker  +  3500 Tue, 05 Aug 03 02:45 AM Thanks Maj, Apparently you should punctuate thus: Hi, I am hitchhiker. This is a test sentence, with some common punctuation; and more! Leave a single space after punctuation; then continue with your text. hitchhiker Joined on Mon, Nov 18 2002 Richmond, UK Senior Member 4,034 Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement...

Hitch is right, it IS one space after punctuation - however, after a full stop (or period) it's two spaces. Like this. See you all in the winter xxx Pia Joined on Mon, Mar 24 2003 Malta Full Member 103 Punctuation
