I agree with this. And call me stodgy, but anything more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence looks unprofessional to me. Please, no !! and especially no ?! I think it will just lead to proliferation. Soon !! won't be enough and it'll have to be !!! Then what? Emoticons?

The writing should be sufficient.
