"An ellipsis is sometimes used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence"
Spanky used it in the last manner, I used it in the first.

Wow. This thread has been really spot-on for the OP's question! Good job guys. 
My turn to derail...
jpb - It was a joke (thank you for talking him off the ledge, bongo). I apologize for my mis-use of
Maybe 
would have been better. No hard feelings, man.
B_479 - I could care less whether you're a better player or have more experience than everyone here. If you're recent to TB you're a "n00b" (as in "newbie", as in "you ain't from 'round here, is ya?"). Part of the "do a search" automated response comes from guys (me included) that waste WAY too much time here and see the same questions asked on a frequent basis. Hang out for a while, enjoy the reading, and enjoy the GAS! Now that you've been sufficiently flogged, you may carry on

.Thanks guys, I didnt use the search function, because I didnt know this forum had one. Now I do.
Every time I see jetpack, Spanky, Eric, and Bongo arguing about the merits of the Search function in a thread, Mel Brooks' "Spanish Inquisition" starts playing in my head.
If I get all of your mug shots, I'm so going to photoshop you guys into a screenshot from the Inquisition scene

Arguing? Did I miss something? I thought this was a jump-on-the-n00b thread.
Oh, it is?

Guys, guys, they don't like to be called n00bs anymore, it's impolite. The correct modern term is "experientially challenged".
Beautiful. Brown is the new black, and "EC" is the new "n00b". Man, it's so hard to keep up with all this stuff.
Well I'm glad to hear things are cool between us.
And thanks for your kind words 
Sorry if I did verbally slap an EC in the face, I generally try to exercise respect in TB, but I am only human. I guess we all have our moments.
I... hope you're not... pointing... at me...
Actually, I have to say that I tend to use the ellipsis far more on TB than I ever have in my life....................
I guess my fingers just hit the period button when I'm thinking.....

You seem like a nice guy...

Moog, since I still consider you a n00b, your opinion doesn't count.
Especially since you spam TB so much you most likely hit that mark in less than a week. So are you saying it took a week for you to stop being a n00b?
Consider then Joe P, Tedintheshed, davidmwilson, Toasted, or Tecx. These guys (recently anyway) tend to be pretty conservative with how they post around here, but they are all some of the smartest, most experienced guys on here. How long did it take these guys to quit being "n00bs"? Just because someone posts a lot doesn't mean they know anything. Like me for example. ;-D
So you saying "1000 posts in my book before you're not a n00b anymore" is like me saying "You have to be named SpankyPants before you're not a n00b in my book."
