Pratchett said the insanity of person can be judged by an excessive use of exclamation points, yet he haven't lived long enough to see the pure morbidity of someone who frequently uses double spaces and, coincidentially, contributes to LaTeX.

In some ways, that's somebody that made a great effort to let the computer find and correct double spaces...

It's just a very strong case of that "scratch your own itch" of FOSS.
