Hi wannabe,

I think it's great that you're posting these, but I wanted to mention that a lot of our people have vision issues that make it difficult for them to read large connected blocks of text. A number of people have requested that big blocks of text be broken up into smaller chunks with white space in-between.

Thanks.

Mark

Sorry about that.

I'll go thru and try to break them up for easier reading.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Could I add to this suggestion?

It's been suggested many times before, and some people take it to mean that

they should break up their text like this, without regard for the ends of sentences. They just type away and when the mood

strikes them, they make a break.

To me, this is almost worse than no breaks.

It seems to me that the breaks should be natural breaks, coming at the end of a sentence and following the meaning of the text by breaking it into logical paragraphs if possible.
