Yeah, many of the commenters are out there.
Is there a standard for how long (like how many words or phrases or lines should be contained within the parenthesis because some parenthesis breaks go on forever) a parenthesis should go? Some people let the parenthesis breaks go on so far they forget what the sentence or paragraph was about in the first place. Come to think of it, I have been caught in conversations with people like that.
This is referring to a couple of commenters not the main author.
