I think using ellipses is an appropriate tool when you want to break up long strings of text to indicate that you have more to say.
It can actually be used to simulate a little bit more of a "real-time" communication, rather than blitz the other guy with a wall of text all at one time.
Which is also good to let the other guy know you're not sitting there braindead while you're typing out a paragraph. For instance, when interviewing someone it always bugged me more when the guy would just sit there for five minutes and then blurt out a wall of text, that I'd inevitable miss anyways because it would scroll out of my screen too fast. Way easier to ingest if broken up (and for bonus points you can inject emotes in between).
