Oh, wait a minute. I get it now. Irony. The four exclamation points at the end of your message. Clever. I'm slow.</B> By overly emotional, I mean there are too many exclamation points.

Are you like a rock star? or have a long distance girlfriend who misses you desperately!!!! I bet if the sender(s) of those emotionally overcharged emails read this she'd be just so hurt!!!!

Thank you, again, for respecting my anonymity.</B> Eggbert, it is because of the fact that I have not been physically close to the fairer sex in a while that I have had the misfortune of reading their overly-emotional emails.

I do think I was guilty of the "The End" on the last page, though. But I think a teacher told me to do that. In any case, in my business, it's an unwritten rule that anyone who uses an exclamation point in their headline or copy is a hack. Ironically, one of the latest ads to come out of our agency features the dreaded punctuation mark. Go fig. At least I had nothing to do with it.</B> I like the idea of taking points off for exclamation points. I do think I was guilty of the “The End” on the last page, though.
