How many periods are appropriate in an ellipsis?
Up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,
of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets
I'm pretty sure it's three...
Three, except if the omission comes at the end of a sentence. In that case the ellipsis will be placed after the period, making a total of four dots.

It could be worse..I could put "?" in place of "." or none at all, therefore you wouldn't be warned of my change of thought...then you'd all miss my .........................

You see, It's funny because I don't really like it when people explain totally obvious jokes. And I was also making a refrence to the "high strung" (neffing) post I feel pretty bad for being so mean to a neewbie though.

...am I the newbie you mentioned being mean to? if so....to be honest with ya, I didn't notice....Maybe if your print was bolder
I think you're in the wrong thread you good for nothing looser. Not everything in the world is about you, you ego maniac. If you had taken the time to read the post all the way through, you would have known that I was not talking about you, not yet.Hunny:
Is this considered stalking, or am I in the wrong thread?

Nope..I'm in the correct thread
..and infinite, I think you are just too high~strung... you seem to be in the wrong thread...and I'm not here to butt heads with you, I'm simply having a wonderful time responding to threads that interest me...& feel free to talk about me
I'm a very interesting person....and for the record...you spelled "loser" wrong... LOOSE is when your pants don't fit correctly and they fall down...
Now where is that candybar of mine
You put two "o"s in it when someone is as big of a looser as you.
