It certainly looks strange, but after all it is a strange, alien language,
right ? hehehe
Anyway, because I respect yours and SuStel's opinion on this matter, and
because I always accept the advice of experts, from now on I will be using
question marks too !

Why did you decide that. Don't you think it looks strange. Would it loo=
k strange in English.<br>
<br>

<br>
Not really<br>
It's the same in English<br>
When you write one line per phrase it's clear the sentence is over<br>
If you have longer phrases that are longer than one line and may jump into =
the following line you can just leave a space to mark a ne phrase like I am=
doing now<br>
<br>
This is the next phrase<br>
<br>
So saying that punctuation is necessary contradicts your saying that the qu=
stion mark is not :-)<br>
<br>
I agree that it is visible from the sentence that it'S a question, but =
it still helps the reading fluency when question marks are used. That's=
actually what they been invented for. I can read your messages, but it'=
;s still strange to read.<br>
