Jim: Thanks for the response. When Mike initially started writing that column, they were interspersed. Then he went a couple of weeks with no question marks and, surprisingly, we got a lot of responses saying they preferred the style, where did they go. Pretty astute readers either way. So, we figured OK, if that many people have an opinion, give the reader what they want. I have to admit this is the first negative comment in over a year.
Thanks for the response. I’m just one guy. I’m just saying how I feel, I think that device is overused. Keep up the overall good work.
Mike, I think the “question at the end of a comment” is an annoying gimmick that’s run its course.
