I see that you're adding footnotes to your posts on an internet comedy site. Why aren't you using MLA format?

I would rather have footnotes instead of parentheses all over the place (Not that there is anything wrong with parentheses (Although they are overused by inexperienced writers(However, they are helpful for stream of consciousness)))

Using MLA for hypertext is like trying to get a gun license so you can shoot porn.

But now that we're talking about hypertext, I was wondering what your thoughts are about it. From a literature point of view, it seems like a gimmicky idea that professors talk about so they seem more culturally relevant. But from a general humanities point of view, where do you see the "New Media" field ending up?

Edit: To take things a bit farther, what do you think about things like this happening?

Do you ever find yourself reading a terrible novel like "Twilight" or anything by Nora Roberts?

I ask because I do this on a regular basis so I can "Know thy enemy." I am just hoping I'm not the only one.

P.S On that note, does it bug you to put punctuation within quotations? I know that saying "Know thy enemy!" is incorrect, yet why even bother putting the punctuation within the quotes in the first place? It seems more natural to write "Know thy enemy".
