i.e. it's the end of the body of the post. You may consider the body
optional but the only circumstance in which it's valid to send a post
without a body is control messages.

The one that's sitting under my desk. The next one downstream is the
alt.net server, I can't see the post there because it was expired.
However to please your monkey curiosity, I'll repeat the three dots in
this post

...

and I'll let you know what it looks like once it gets to the next
server.

BTW, you really must learn to remove those blinkers. Just because you
hate me doesn't mean that I have any interest in lying to you, you're
honestly not worth it.

Hmm, two dots on the alt.net server.
