[pct-l] SuperSecrets of Backpacking

[Bill Burge]

I find it hard to believe that anyone would do it intentionally.  I  
can only guess that it's something with his mail client, possibly  
interacting with the list server  (and maybe interacting with your  
mail client as well).

It's probably doing something stupid with the sentence delimiter and  
your mail client displays it as a ".? " instead of ". " or ".  ".  My  
mail client ALSO displays the "?", so you're not alone.  I'm on a Mac  
with the included "Mail" app.
