Posting HINT! Do not put big blocks of text without breaks up!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Really. If it's a cut and paste, go over it and put a line break in between paragraphs.

I am sure I'm not alone that when I click on a post and thre's 30 lines of text without a break for paragraphs, I most likely will not read it.

There's a different set of English rules on the internet, People are reading on screens of different resolutions and the breaks need to be made differently than if you were writing on paper.


'Nuff said.

1. This is a very good idea.

I tend to break at any semblance of a new idea, or when I want to stress individual points, even at every sentence.

Like here.

Thanks for the tip, Mr. Joad.

2. I am very down with that

I abhor walls of text.

I too tend to ignore them.

3. While we're at it...

...sit up straight; don't talk with your mouth full; put the top back on the toothpaste; put the toilet seat down when you're finished; never wear brown shoes with a black suit; always respect your elders; don't slurp your soup; mirror, signal, manuver; many hands make for light work; a stitch in time saves nine; never put milk back in the fridge with only a quarter-inch left in the carton; don't vote Republican.

Did I leave anything out?

7. Only that we can't see you while you are or aren't doing those things...

I don't think so.

is what i have learned

it is very inportant to put in the spaces

it helps with clarity

yup

and i dont read a post that is just a mass of words

i can catch the next sentence and end up re reading the same thing over and over

ok, this is a bit exagerated.
