james has odd punctuation
Am I the only one who notices this? The one and only tokyo_james has some of the oddest typing habits I know of.
Even allowing for his English-ness (i.e., compared with the other Brits on the board) the punctuation style is ...."different".

Perhaps this is because he has lived in so many other countries? I would one would have a difficult time being consistent in this sense when your own boss' first language is not English.
