Some of the responses here are hilarious.

If the author's style includes ellipses and they're used well that's fine. But there seem to be a lot of authors who don't quite know how to use them and wind up sticking them all over the place. Honestly, if you listen to how people talk, ellipses shouldn't show up that often.

That post is just terribly written. Ellipses wouldn't make it any better. I don't think you're making the point you're trying to make.
