Hopefully you will have noticed a number of new editors that have appeared to help keep this site running. They have been active for over a week but you might not have noticed them if you have been enjoying the Thanksgiving Day holiday, or just spending money during Black Friday (which seems to last longer each year!)
Snow, Charon, FatPhil, Fnord666, and GreatOutdoors have completed their training and are busy making their contributions to the team, and there are several more volunteers who will begin training in the near future. I hope that you will welcome them and keep them busy by providing more and varied submissions for them to battle with. They have already significantly reduced the strain on the editorial team and we are all breathing a collective sigh of relief back here. Thank you for volunteering guys!

Short answer: because that's how HTML rolls. All the whitespace in the world is collapsed to just one space.
Still short, but slightly longer answer: if you want to go to the trouble, you can set a Greasemonkey script to place a non-breaking space appear after every period. This is probably more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks again, for explaining the basics and for the pointer to Greasemonkey.
