So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ahaahahaha. Except when some of the style rules for Org X have never been officially documented, and are only learned through word-of-mouth tribal knowledge.

That's why I said "In Theory!"

Though I think we still have a Style Council that exists to vote things off the formatting island. I'll ask everyone's heterosexual gay best friend editor on Monday.

Our wings are not tired.

It is so Buffista-ish to take over a delurking thread with punctuation debates.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Please to continue delurking.

Yes! We shall still love you, even if you are ~~wrong on the Internets~~ not a fan of the serial comma!

Please, carry on delurking, and feel free to ignore us!

Newspapers have a lot of inane rules that boil down to saving column inches for the actual text and do nothing for clarity. Your point being?

That would be AWESOME.

It makes it SO much easier to identify crackpots.
