Been doing it since the early 80's, I see it more along the lines of a
rolling stop...

The ellipsis has been around for a zillion years. I'm amused that you are
claiming it as some kind of "trademark". And for the record, I think I
first used it sometime in the 1960s. Expect a threatening letter from my
lawyer....

Beats me. Still using that ellipsis I see. You can expect a threatening
letter from my lawyer as soon as I accumulate enough money that I don't
worry about throwing a bunch of it away. So expect that letter sometime in
the next few centuries. Please be patient... .

Puncuation, Matt...


So you can't spell, nor punctuate?


Neaux Matt, you can't... 3 periods is a trademark of sorts for my posts.
What's your excuse?


Three periods are an accepted method of indicating a pause.

You used 4 periods rather than 3, so your claim is invalid! :-)

Magnetic fields make no noise. The noise of a MRI scanner is
generated by the physical movement of the magnets inside.




Now this speaks volumes.
