"...a full stop, like a full or perfect point, is obviously not an imperfect point or stop, whether as brief as a comma or as clear-cut as a semicolon or as disruptive as a dash or as smooth as a pair of parenthesis or as culturedly poised as a colon: here ends the statment, here ends the sentence."

One Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and we're into a serious discussion on punctuation.....just as well I limited it to one round  :)
Though much is taken, much abides; and though

moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Soda - in a single MALT - PHILISTINE

Right on the Malt (shudder). Wrong on the Nazi; in English usage of course, in German it would be NSDAP...
