RE: Ban the Semicolon?

["McCarter, Kim" <kmccarte -at- harris -dot- com>]

It saddens me that the general masses of the population, while puzzling over the
meaning of the neglected semicolon (used correctly), have no problem at all
interpreting the comma splice or the simple enjambed sentence (where a semicolon
would have solved the problem!).
