I see one space - https://web.archive.org/web/20140403012916/http://www.finney...

EDIT - really interesting, could very well be Hal, every sentence after a period ends with 2 spaces - view-source:https://web.archive.org/web/20140403012916/http://www.finney...

HTML considers whitespace insignificant.
