Yes, from posts with double-spaces I can usually tell that the author is over a certain age (I would put them at baby-boomer or near baby-boomer).

I am guilty of having been taught that way when taking Typing class in school as well.

I have since dropped it though since we no longer live in a monospace world (I know, I hear you saying, "Speak for yourself," but I am excepting coding).

I'm fine with proportionally spaced fonts when not coding. I'm also in love with extra space at the end of sentences; HTML based displays took the easy way out, there.
