All of which is to say, please feel free to continue with this let's-use-ellipses-annoyingly-to-irritate-Adder theme, but if during that time, anyone uses the ellipsis to higlight some lame punchline I will organize a coalition of the like-minded to hunt you down and fucking kill you.

Carry on.

As linkage, they're ideal. Say you want to shovel fifty thoughts into a space that ought to fit twenty... Ellipses! You can chop formal sentences down to phrases and create a paragraph that bounds forward where normal language would start/complete thought/finish/start again. Good way to make shit seamless.
