It seems to me that no single week passes without any post about this kind of error (no space before a negation) in some save output module. Sigh. I must admit it seems quite strange to me that noone in the coreteam didn't do that already. (hope I won't hurt anybody's feelings too much though) ;-) Would someone who's even more fed up than me with these recurrent messages have time to audit the whole bunch of existing modules in the CVS tree and fix this particular kind of problem _once and for all_?
