The parent of my comment was making a joke (I doubt he seriously thinks people say &quot;floating full stops&quot; in the UK) so I made a joke too, in the same vein. You know, period&#x2F;full stop...<p>It may not have been the best joke ever but I don&#x27;t think it deserved 3 downvotes. People can be really tiresome sometimes.<p>(I&#x27;m not saying to you BTW; I don&#x27;t think you downvoted.)<p>Edit: Okay, I received two upvotes after writing this, so now my post feels way too bitter. I&#x27;ll leave it because I do think the point still stands - people are sometimes way too ready to downvote posts here (I don&#x27;t mean mine, but anyone&#x27;s) - but I&#x27;ll also say people here are really very nice most of the time too.
