Every day, more exclamation points are abused and then horridly discarded than are any animals in the world. Despite having been placed on the endangered punctuation list several times, and despite the threat of heavy fines and even prison time, people continue to exploit these poor creatures. Help put a stop to this. By signing this petition, you are pledging never to use more than two excalmation points together, and that many only with good reason. You are pledging that, any time you see someone string together a long line of exclamation points, you will not take whatever he says seriously. If you wish to make a "flaming" or "sarcastic" reply, that action will be accepted by STEP (Save The Exclamation Points) Worldwide. Please, make the choice to care.

When this list has one-hundred signatures on it, please forward it, along with any attached "derisive" or "mean-spirited" comments to every @aol.com e-mail address you can think of.
