Punctuation Fever - rekirts - 05-20-2003
Hi,<br>
<br>
I was just wondering if anyone else thought it would be a good idea to limit the number of exclamation points to--say--3 per sentence in RAT posts. They tend to get a little overwhelming at times!!!<br>

Re: Those goofy Dutchies - rekirts - 05-20-2003
My personal feeling is that three of any punctuation mark is sufficient for any point being made...do you agree??? I hope so!!!<br>

Re: wellllllllll......... - rekirts - 05-21-2003
Er...perhaps some of you didn't realize my original post was a joke???!!!<br>
<br>
However in all seriousness, an excess of puncutaion does not add to a point, but is very distracting and actually detracts from it...................<br>
Even so, to actually make a rule about it would be just plain silly..........................................................................<br>
I KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
In case you had any doubts..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
