Punctuation marks

[Berlin]

Is it necessary to use 5 question marks in order to indicate that a post is a question? Does it add anything, apart from unnecessary and incorrect punctuation? Do extra exclamation marks create more of an exclamation? Or am I just a pedantic old fart?

Do extra exclamation marks create more of an exclamation?

Of course!!!!!

Or am I just a pedantic old fart?

Probably.

If you are then I am too. And obviously that's impossible!

Sorry - was that a question? Because there's nothing to indicate that it is!

I'm sure you have never been accused of being pedantic
