The question mark is best. If people were to ask more questions, perhaps more people would have answers. Certainly more people would get answers. As it is, no one asks. And when no one asks, no one can answer.

Much agreed, but I'm still sticking with ¿, as who wants to get the standard set of questions which have been answered many times already anyway...

"This is where it's at" is incorrect grammar - you are aware of that, aren't you?

It should be "This is the place at which it is."

That reference to Winston reminded me of something my father told me... Something along the lines of "the first person to mention Hitler automatically loses the argument".

Oh and I went for "?!" because the mixture of alarm and confusion always triggers something in me.
