But one last time and for the record, after talking it out, I agree with the AP style to just drop the superfluous apostrophe because no matter what, no one is going to be confused about what goes on there.
Also for the record, I work for a newspaper called the Buyer's Guide.

I agree with dropping the apostrophe, even though I really, really want there to be one.

And really? Buyer's Guide?
