A vertical list is best introduced by a complete grammatical sentence, followed by a colon.
But I also learn other stuff about the quality of the people that post. In other forums it is not unusual to see nasty words creep in, or stupid arguments that won't go away, as in these examples:
If the introduction and items form a complete grammatical sentence, items in a list would be separated by a comma.
to should be a too or a two,
and your should be a you're,
and there should be a their or a they're,
or paragraphs without commas or periods,
etc, etc....
Short lists are better run in.

Thus negating the need for an ellipses(unicode 2026).
