And I bet you put your commas as well as your periods outside of quotation marks too. <br><br>____________________________________________________<br>Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,<br>But to be young was very heaven!

End of story. The hobnail boots came down and now you equate that to all Americans. If we were all Americans here (which we are not at all) I would say good on us Americans! A thief walks into our midst and we hold no quarter.<br><br>Starting on the thieves square on the checkerboard you then start spewing political rhetoric back all the way back to the Romans. You sound silly from that square. SteveG and you should really be blushing now. Responding to you was interesting for a while because you continued to be such a weasel. But now it's really getting old.<br><br><br><br><br><br>

Well, let me tell you, we 'Mericans fought a Revolutionary War so we could put our punctuation inside quotation marks where they belong, by gum!<br><br><br><br>____________________________________________________<br>Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,<br>But to be young was very heaven!

I tend to put them outside the quotation marks when the quote is PART of what I'm saying<br>therefore the punctuation is MINE whereas the quote was not...<br>yet INSIDE the quotation marks when the punctuation is called for within the quotation itself.<br><br><br><br>

If you insist... "Remora"<br><br><br><br>The host they attach to for transport gains nothing from the relationship, but also loses little. The remora benefits <br>by using the host as transport and protection and also feeds on materials dropped by the host. There is some <br>controversy over whether a remora's diet is primarily leftover fragments, or actually the feces of the host. In <br>some species (Echeneis naucrates and E. neucratoides) consumption of host feces is strongly indicated in gut <br>dissections.[3] For other species, such as those found in a host's mouth, scavenging of leftovers is more likely. <br>Many sources also suggest that for some remora/host pairings the relationship is closer to mutualism with the <br>remora cleaning bacteria and other parasites from the host.<br><br><br><br><br>

And why should I be blushing? Just because I'm apparently Zugzy's Jill Wagner? Frankly I think we should all be blushing over having given this thread so much attention and momentum. Every one of us has contributed to it's stupidity. Every one of us. And oops, I just crapped my pants again!<br><br>The response to this bonehead's request should have and could have started and stopped with: "That's illegal. No can do. Buh-bye." But noooooooooo... we all acted like we ain't gettin any and turned this into a dog-kicking contest. Just as bone-headed, IMHO.<br><br>Yeah. Let's make it a group blush and stake this thread out on a red ant hill.<br><br>
