Spaw: [[I think I use the ellipsis even more than Bill............Actually I think I use the pseudo or faux ellipsis. Matter of fact I can't seem to write without it. If you're trying to impart the way you might phrase things in conversation, those damn dots are invaluable. Really............and I never use them in the 3 and 6 series as I should. What I'm trying to do is give a sense of my speech pattern which involves both long pauses..........................and, uh, well................................even longer ones I guess.........]]

Spaw, you're not using ellipses. The ellipsis as a punctuation mark has exactly 3 dots.
