Random, Simple Request

Just a quick request about posting in general

When you are posting a long thread, please make an effort to break up paragraphs- perhaps I am one of the few who is bothered by this, but thought I would ask anyhow

Quite honestly, when I see a post that is half a page, all lumped together with no spaces, in times new roman 2 point, I've gotten to the point where I skip it- just looking at that big block of solid text makes my head ache

And as I know there is a lot of good knowledge and support on this form, it bums me out to ever skip posts on threads I am interested in.

So, anyhow, just a request- thanks for reading :D

And might I add....

Please, PLEASE use punctuation! I cannot stand to read one great, big, giant run-on sentence! I know that it's been discussed on the boards before, but absolutely nothing makes one look more uneducated then a lack of punctuation in a post.

You may flame me for this, but you just can't take the English tutor out of this nurse!!

I can neither confirm, nor deny, the rumour that I laughed so suddenly that I snorted and frightened the cat.
