I'd like to make a request to those who post
I understand a lot of you are frustrated, angry, at your wit's end, and full of adrenalin when you post. HOWEVER, as I have requested in the past, it makes it a lot easier for me to "hear" what you are saying if you could chop your post up into reasonably short paragraphs.
Hey, I'm older than dirt, what can I say? These old eyes cannot read a paragraph that consists of about 3,000 or so sentences. My eyes start jumping around and I get a headache.
So do an old broad a favor ... just try chopping up the paragraphs a bit and thank you!

What a great suggestion, and what a great place SR is!
The angrier I am, the longer my post! But I think I'm pretty good at using paragraphs!
This is something I've noticed, and I think it is so cool.....ready?
I've noticed that the people on here whom I think are wise/enlightened/been there/done that, have the shortest posts! Right to the point, no rambling!
And then there are the others (myself included), who can go on and on (not that there is anything wrong with that, as long as we include paragraph breaks)!
Thanks for this post!

I find it much easier to read posts with paragraphs as well. And, I have to say, when I click on a post and find it not only missing paragraphs, but ALL CAPS, I don't even read the first word.
