Two !s. One was justified (paying your babysitter $3/hr). One was not (botching a quilting project). But my real problem is the overuse of the comma and underuse of the semicolon, "a handy little chap," according to Lincoln. <BR/><BR/><BR/>And yes, I realize that I did use the passive voice in this comment.
