1. Am for in some cases. Am opposed in others.
Kind of like the Bridget Jones method of writing. But not in formal situations. Mustn't look like Freeper.

2. Are we going to keep asking rhetorical questions?
Probably.

Are they annoying?

You bet.

4. Please record my vote in favor of complete sentences.
My other turns-ons include correct spelling and subject/verb agreement.

7. Sometimes.
I think in dibs and dabs occasionally. Succinctness is an art form. :)

10. I will admit to thinking in dibs

9. As Isocrates well knew
when he first developed its form in the political maelstrom and philosophical apex of 4th century BCE Greece, and as a vast multitude of writers - from Augustine to Chaucer to Erasmus, from Vico to Kant to Joyce to Morrison - have subsequently come to realize and execute with grace and aplomb, there is something to be said for amplification, for variety, for difference, for richness, for thirteen ways, as it were, of looking at a blackbird, particularly when such rich and various views, such multitudes of senses, visions, words and sensibilities, take the form of the long suffering, if doggedly resolute, periodic sentence.
