Since this is a tech writing list.... is it only me or was this a
particularly bad example of advertising in ASCII??
It reminded me of what I sometime read about exclamation points: using them
is like beating the reader over the head with a baseball bat to get their
attention, i.e., use sparingly.
Medic! Medic! I think I am bleeding :)
It's either that or my eyebrows have crawled halfway down my back with so
much amazement.
Apologies for this post in advance, I took an antihistamine a while back and
I claim temporary brain damage (or maybe it WAS those exclamation points?).
