Your comments are quite striking in their (over)use of ellipses... I've been wondering if there's a particular reason you do this? At the very least they make your contributions distinct, I guess.
(honest question.)

- Outdoorsman 11y agoMy hope is that it helps me keep my comments as "honest" as possible... An ellipsis simply indicates an omission has occurred...in the case of my writing it simply means that a thought popped into my mind that I considered including to better illustrate the point I'm hoping to make, then decided against it, and wrote something else... I've written that way for a number of years, mostly with good results...if it's distracting to anyone my apologies... Perhaps that's why Cormac McCarthy is likely my favorite author...he's well known for short incomplete sentences, yet the "spell" (continuous dream) his writing invokes in readers is never broken... JFTR, I was writing this way well before I began reading his works...
