Please people, paragraphs...

Can people please try to put some paragraphs in their posts, or some spacing between lines occasionally. There is nothing worse than trying to read a post that is 40 lines long and it is just one big block of text. In fact i won't read it, I am sure others are the same.

Iam not trying to impose rules here, I just think that if you want people to read your posts you should try to make it a little easier for them.

Next, you'll be telling people to punctuate and spellcheck. Where will this madness end?

Close, next on the agenda is run on sentences, you know sentences that go on for ever and don't seem to stop and you just hope they will end soon so you can figure out what they are trying to say but you can tell there is no end in site and you would kill for a period or even a semicolon but they come too late and you have given up and you are on to the next post. :bnghd:

GreenKool,

yeah man I agree,

appearance is muchmore important than substance.

hahahaha. That is not what I mean, but appearance may get your post read.

Besides Neo, you know I am not talking about you. Your half a sentence for every 2 lines makes your posts look pretty.

I say that spellchecking would be a nice thing to have.... as well as syntax and grammar. As a writer, some posts make me smile while others make me weep with horror.

I'm not picky about grammar...but can't agree more about the flow of a post...keep it interesting, on topic and coherent...a few spaces here and there help too
