I have a question. A-chama san, was your post #201 intended to be the end of a sentence? (you usually have used elipsis......, but in that one didn't)

Do we acually pay attention to new starts or not? I wonder. I'm a little at a loss--my entry is (assuming 205 to be a full stop):


.....as those kids.....

Mars Man! Are you ignoring post #206, 207, and 208?!?!?
 
Not really...but that's just part of the problem that I'm in, Mikawa san. You see, if I may for a second here (PLEASE forgive me people). . .

If we were to take #201 as a full stop--which syntax allows--#s 202~205 do not make a possible sentence, but rather a dependent clause without anything to depend on.

A quick check revealed that A-chama has consistently used '....' at the end of the three words (tending to denote a continuation) as by far most of the posters are also doing. (even if it's just to make the three words postable) Then, at post 201, A-chama used a period--just as made of stone san has done to show a full stop. (his is intentional, we can see)

While I am confused on how to see it (awaiting A-chama's resonse) I went ahead and took 205 as full stop, and 206 as a new sentence. I had wanted to bring the story back around to the kids in the bathroom's doing something in the story, so I applied 'as' in the sense of 'while at the same time.'

Now my error could be, simply that I didn't take 208 to be a full stop. If the word 'as' were capitalized, then it could be a new start....but I just don't know...and then wondered about how to take those punctuation marks in general. Sorry. . . .
