Please bear in mind that new transcribers are joining all the time, and are
not always aware of what has and hasn't been discussed.

One outcome of this discussion is that I now know what I should be doing
regarding full stops, and this just came to light because someone else asked
the question.

Perhaps Mervyn's explination of full stops could be added to the FreeBMD
website (or under hints and tips or under Volunteer Support & Resources),
with the examples that make it clear what is to be done with full stops,

Everyone has a right to offer their comments, this is the means by which we
improve the system and get a better understanding of FreeBMD.

However there is a caveat to this.

If a topic has been discussed to death and the Project Team Leadership have
offered a detailed explanation of why things are required to be done in a
certain way, then this is the time for the discussion to be ended.

In any organisation there are rules which individuals are required to adhere
to, FreeBMD is no different.

Full stops is such an item which has been discussed to death.

If individuals don't wish to adhere to the rules, then they can make their
own choice of whether they want to participate in the project or not.
