Man, all you people have put five thousand posts here since I last looked! But I'll respond to Milly before I get to my own thing: Milly, I noticed that you put etaoin's post, way back on page 1 . If you (and all other newcomers) want to read more faster (that's read more, faster; not read more-faster) go up to the top of the page and click on Edit Profile, then Display Preferences. You'll see a line: Total posts to show on one page when viewing a thread in flat mode . Change that number to 99, and you'll be able to see 99 posts on ONE page. Dunno what to tell you threaded-mode newbies; I find threaded mode both frustrating and impossible to follow.

Now: I have an actual question, and, as with the question that started this thread, I think I know the answer but I don't like it so I'm hoping it will change this time(!): do you put the period/full stop inside or outside the ) when a phrase in parentheses ends the sentence? And question/exclamation marks?
