Considering that my remarks were serious, I tend to not see any humor
in your response.

Proper punctuation and grammar is important in any type of text
document.  This was not what I was commenting on.  My opinions
refer to the fact that someone decided to go overboard with the '.'
additions to ELM status messages.  I only asked for a reason.  I
didn't ask for a stupid response.

Now..  Shall we try this again?
