I don't remember writing this, but I've just discovered it in a document I'm updating:
eg 'eg', 'etc', etc
It's explaining our house style on lack of full stops in addreviations and acronyms. I rather like it ;-)

So it should be: e.g. 'eg', 'etc'
or: 'eg', 'etc', etc
But given that I actually prefer your version, I'll stop being pedantic ;o)
