     My grandmother had a saying:
          Convince a man against his will,
          And he's of the same opinion still.
     I think that applies here.  Matthew simply does
not agree with the new standard.  And, altho I accept
that the standard exists and must be followed for
publication, it's obvious here that I am so used to
doing the double-spaces that I just do so
automatically.  If I were to write a book, I'd have to
do a search and replace last thing before sending it
in!
