Having read all the posts on this thread by the party who posted above, ought I to point out to Welsh Dragon, in some sort of interrogative form, that in a thread based on the use of questions it might be considered by many if not all that the use of a question mark is if not prerequisite then at least preferable?
Ought I also to beg lenience from Welsh Dragon for asking such long-winded questions with such a paucity of commas?
