How can I defeat it? Often an elipsis ("...") is seen at the bottom of a new entry from a remember template. I find myself deleting them, compulsively.

What's the scoop about elipses? Which variables are relevant? Can I defeat this habit by reconfiguring, or do I have to force myself to have better habits?
