hmm, sometimes it seems to cut off a post after an elipsis
below is a cut and paste from a webpage with a single-character elipsis after Wal-Mart.

A full accounting of Wal-Mart's impact using Global Insight's modeling framework finds that Wal-Mart has generated a positive net economic impact on the U.S. economy. By 2004, it is responsible for 210,000 net jobs, a level of total factor productivity (general economic efficiency of the economy) that is 0.75% higher by 2004 than it would have been. Nominal wages are 2.2% lower, but given that consumer prices are 3.1% lower, real disposable income is 0.9% higher than it would have been in a world without Wal-Mart.

here's just the lines around the elipsis

lower, real disposable income is 0.9% higher than it would have been in a world without Wal-Mart.

Similar results are provided for the Dallas-Ft. Worth-Arlington MSA. Due to increased market penetration the consumer cost savings are estimated to have been a cumulative 4.0% by 2004. This impact in conjunction with other direct, indirect, and induced impacts has led to 6,300 more jobs and a 2.6% increase in real disposable income in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.

in that last post, I used the arrow keys to move the cursor through the break. Seemed to fix whatever the problem was.

weird.

If any of the mods wants to move this to the General Mavs section where it will get more exposure, that would be ok with me.
