. . . a couple of folks have noted that I use ellipses often in my writing . . . perhaps a little too often. Could be a Stream Of Thought type of thing with a dash of Lack Of Focus and a pinch of Grammatical Pause, but really it's just because I like the rapid-fire sound of the tapthunktapthunktapthunk of the period key and the space bar . . . tapthunktapthunktapthunk . . . love it. . .
