        Good for you, many don't. Remember, this is a resume, you want the person
reading it to have to do AS LITTLE work as possible, few people out there in
the business world are as competent as many of us here when it comes to
stuff like this.

        Sorry, this convention still exists. Remember, with a resume you must make
things as easy as possible.
