sycophants?? maybe just poetry lovers? personally, fair enough you critise punctuation.. but i dont believe its neccersary to say it 'sucks' thats like telling someone whos learning how to play an instrument they're doing it all wrong.
what i mean by that is that there are a million methods to learn an instrument by. i was taught classicaly, when i learn irish folk, they tell me how to hold it, play it differenlty. with jazz... its a whole new set of rules. expermentation whith style is paramount, and what bugs me is stylists of the punctuation genre, putting too much emphasis on it as a tool. its just not that important. it's one method out of many.
