Flipping around the channels today, and came across this program on the Smithsonian Channel: Haiti's Treasures: Out of the Rubble. Half hour show, worth the watch.

Found a little cut of it on youtube:

good training for the Smithsonian

not of much use to Haiti .. whose art work flows like water

but amazing that they would post it. I think that they would be a bit ashamed to post it.

but that is always the question. my mother was an artist and it was always the most important thing. save the art! I traveld around for years with a collection til li finally gave it to a museum.

Given his post after yours, I'd say, sadly, your assumption is incorrect, Annie. Ironically, using the exclamation point might indicate he was wowed by the treasures... as in "What Treasures! ... They are so beautiful." I'm sure the subtle nuance of proper punctuation is far beyond his comprehension.

Dude nobody understands what you're trying to say when everything you say has an exclamation point at the end and the context is neither a question or a statement. Are you that excited about everything you say?

I can just imagine how you talk in real life..."Go to the movies ! A Presidente vestida de novia ! Like Bachata ! " :confused::confused::confused::confused:
