And Paragon, I really did not expect an answer, therefore it was not a question and does not require a question mark. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Take another hit off of the old bong and try again. Just because you didn't expect an answer, is not a reason to disregard common puncuation. You put a sentence together that was in the form of a question, end it with question mark.
And take away about 20 of your life points for being such a dolt and trying to justifying your grammatical mistakes whence you were criticizing another's. There is no grammatical rule that allows for a sentence formed like you formed to not properly be followed by a question mark.
By the way, none of this is objective opinion, it is just pure English language fact. And you are right that my opinion that the established fact of the correct way to utilize the English language is the only opinion that counts.
