Until I trained Eudora to show me messages in a uniformly-spaced font
none of the ASCII art worked worth a darn.  Doesn't "adobe" mean
"Unburnt sun-dried brick ?"  Hmmmm....

I vote for two spaces.  I can read it better.

Besides that's the way I learned it over 40 years ago and I seem to
recall from the days when letterpress printing was one of my hobbies
(remember the "Print Your Own" ads in Popular Mechanics ?) the minimum
_proportional_ space after a period was an "em" and not an "en."
