I liked the very start of the post, I mean I liked it all, but the very start was something I need to learn to use. I don't use those exclamation marks very often, I don't know why, I just don't. They do add a little bit of feel to lines, add a bit of emphasis to a point, and it is one of the nicer looking punctuation marks there are, or I think so. Like an i standing on it's head saying look at me, see what i can do, but you need to use the small i to get the effect, capital I just does not cut it, a plain ordinary stiffness to the capital I, it could never stand on it's head and be something different, not like the little i and the ! mark. But they don't really look to much alike, but they both grab attention.

Any ways, I know not much of a good comment, but making it as I listen to the long long MSP waves town hall meeting. "umm, umm" = let me think how to make this lie palatable.
