Re: Hollow Bullets - Your Thoughts?

[Peter Sturgeon <prsturgeon -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

But the role of the bullet or dash or hyphen or whatever vogue mark of punctuation we're pushing right now is not to draw attention to itself, but the following matter.

I find most bullets oppressively dark and attention-grabbing--to themselves, not to what follows. Frankly, I'm all in favour of going back to the hyphen. (I've used the lowly + sign to good effect in the past.)

Since the role of a bullet is primarily to attract attention and 
identify elements of a list (while visually separating the graphical 
bullet from the actual content), this weakens the effectiveness of 
hollows compared with solids.
