I need to make a request to all of you here

I realize when somebody is new to this board, they are full of emotions and need to vent.

HOWEVER ... when you discuss your situation in a HUGE paragraph, it is very, very difficult to read. My eyes - and they're OLD eyes! - keep jumping from sentence to sentence.

I periodically post this request. If all of you could try to chop your thoughts up into shorter paragraphs, I would be able to more easily read your posts and respond.

I believe I am speaking for a lot of us older-than-dirt members of this board. Again, we would appreciate it if you could try to keep your paragraphs to about 10 sentences or so, and then start a new paragraph.

Thank you very much!!!

Ditto that.

Didn't realize before what a difference it makes. But it does!

Cool

Ditto to the third power.... (o:

Thx procigal; sometimes I copy and paste those posts over onto 'Word' and make the text larger and break it into paragraphs. Unfortunately, I don't have the time and/or energy all the time, and recently I've noticed a few posts that I have just had to bypass because of this.....I, too, am older 'n dirt, with old eyes, tgo.....

Not only do I have those "old eyes" I also seem to have a shorter attention span. I really do want to give all posts the attention they deserve... and paragraphs help.

Thanks Prodigal!

It goes for the younger eyes as well! I've resorted to highlighting sections with the cursor lol!!! It would help ALOT if they were broken down! Thanks for the reminder!

Oh yeah most definately! Sometimes, I click onto a post to read it and a whole page of nothing but text hits my eyes and it is daunting, instinctively I think, OMG!

It's difficult to keep track of where I am up to, so here here Prod!! Paragraphs please!!!
