        No, Gabriel. Since you ask, you are *not* allowed all
those S's.
        P.S. stands for Post Scriptum, which means
'After' (post) +  'what has (already) been written' (scriptum).

        If you want to add another note *after* your
postscript, then you add another P. for 'after'.

        The sequence is         P.S.
                                P.P.S
                                P.P.P.S
        and so on.

        Sorry this isn't 3D related  -  but neither
were the original postscripts.
