From the Chicago Manual of Style:
Finally, an abbreviation ending with a period that is immediately followed by a question mark or exclamation point requires both marks (Q.E.D.!).
Now I would like to find a definite resource on the info./info choice. I couldn't find anything in the style guides or on the internet. I've always used info. in informal writing and e-mails. I'm thinking that could go either way.

LOL. And here I said I was sure it was a typo.

FWIW, I don't think I've ever seen info with a period like an abbreviation. The dictionary lists it as an informal word formed by shortening, not as an abbreviation. I would treat it like dorm or vet (for either veteran or veterinarian).

I wonder if the Cigar and Poker Party has happened and, if so, how it went.
