Random, Simple Request

Nurses General Nursing

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!!

flame you? I think I love you!

It would alaso be real nice to use capitals to start sentences and for proper names.

If somebody chooses to make their post difficult to read, I assume that they don't want me to read it.

I'll be honest I'm no fan of the posts that run longer than my tattered copy of War and Peace. No need to suggest I skip them, I do.

How about titles that aren't descriptive? OP? ;)
