I’m an English major and a writer.
Old habits die hard.
But I’m always trying to learn new things, including communication nuances.

All of which is background leading up to this poll:

Should I stop adding periods at the end of texts that are intended to be open-ended and invite a reply (i.e. where I don’t want to appear offish or as if I’m trying to end the discussion)?

No. Punctuation matters.

It doesn’t matter. Stop overthinking things.

@reay I like the idea of experimenting with unusual usages of punctuation (or lack thereof). I like to think of it as yet another path towards the discovery of new forms of literary expression. I used to care way too much about punctuation until I encountered one of Cormac McCarthy's novels wherein dialogs between two people lacked correct punctuation. It threw me off at first, but after growing accustomed to the style, it seemed to have an interesting, overall effect.
