I did that on purpose to see if anyone was paying attention. Yeah.. that's it.

I shall plan to use punctuation with impunity! Reckless abandon, even.

Ellipsis... Mysterious? I...don't think so!
(I learned the over-use of the ellipsis from Dan O'Neill... It's sort of like a reverse exclamation point... Instead of ending a sentence with a bang...like the crack of a gavel...it simply lets the sentence fade away...like air leaking from a bicycle tire... It's for people who aren't comfortable being definite... The extremist says, "This is so!" The moderate says, "This is so." The insecure fellow...me...says "This is so..." It's a typographic effect...tantamount to "...maybe.") (Same reason I use parentheses. Kind of a way of turning the volume knob down... Don't want to seem to be shouting...) Silas (I hate extremists...but not to extremes...)
