Hmmm.. I distinctly remember having to reinsert an extra space after I completed the sentence and asked about a double space no longer being necessary and was told that was an outdated idea. Now having said that: there is absolutely a setting on your margins that will increase the length of characters and spaces contained within a specified field to meet the perimeters. Word wrap is a common one that is used that I believe performs a similar but KISS application. — ArguingWAristotleTiff

Hey, you guys have taken a deeply meaningful and, frankly, moving thread about new names for the forum and turned it into a dumb-ass discussion about dumb-ass rules of punctuation. I applaud your efforts.

Don't pick on the lady, it is not her fault. Hanover started it with some dumb-assed idea that a double space would make the place seem more classy.
First of all, we as a group are as classy as we need to be and there is no reason to try and make us look any better. You cannot improve upon perfection. :wink:
Secondly, his idea is so far out of date the the Mayans dropped it before the Spanish arrived. :down:

Let's call the place Master Minds, with capital letter M's, so that Hanover will think he is in a classy place.
We can then all be M&M's. :cool:

My vote still goes in for:

But, of course, I don't get a vote.

I vote for Hanover's suggestion, only without the extra space.

I prefer the extra space, it gives me more room to breathe.

If it was on the top I would not mind, extra head spaces is always good. But at the end??? No use at all.

If the system auto-prunes doubled trailing spaces, then that's that. We might as well consider whether we're brains in vats. We are discussing an issue that has already been resolved; do we really think the code that runs the site is going to be changed as a result of these discussions? As @T Clark said,

That goes for me too. Even, after careful consideration, the final stab of sarcasm. :razz:

Even more reason to remove the extra space.

I Kant Believe It’s Not Better — T Clark

Reminds me of a viral youtube channel with drum set tutorials tied in with philosophy I wanted to start called "I Kant Play That".

No one has taken me up on my plan to have you and @S choose the new name. Alas.

I don't feel qualified, but I'm up for the task. Reminds me of the days when I accidentally became...the arbiter of truth in some bizarre thread of yours? What was that again?

I remember that. It was some game someone else set up where you can change the rules of the game and the last set of rules has priority over all the older ones until someone adds new rules. All my attempts to lead you to greatness seem to fizzle out.

I really aspire towards greatness, but I can't seem to grasp it.

Those who aspire to greatness probably shouldn't spend their time arguing over new names for an internet philosophy forum.

Which I've not done...

Yes sir, you are right about that. They should just go ahead and rename. :cool:
