What does your repeated use of these dots signify? The end of a
subject?

How do I quote correctly in Usenet?

2.7 How do I mark text I left out?

Text you left out when quoting should always be marked with "[...]" or
"(...)", while the first is much more common. Another possibility that
has become more and more common is to use "snip".

Carl:

That's good to know. I bookmarked the site.

I've seen and used snip.

But you don't seem to be using your dots correctly. The examples given
show an opening and closing parenthesis separated by three dots.
