Pago - take a chill pill and call me in the morning. If you don't want to read a post without paragraphs then click on this link and start again.

We know you don't like paragrahee's not using them, but they contribute valuable information to this wevbsite, so bare with it, please.

Alrighty then.....gotta say it.
I too like paragraph breaks and have copied and pasted postings to a word document so I can read the content more easily. That's just me and my style for easier reading.
Pago, we get your point but come on, you too can copy, paste and then read in a format that is easier for you.
I'd be so disappointed if I missed someone's posting just because they don't write in paragraphs.
I am so curious as to the cause of your focused and continued consternation.
Chill, have a Hinano......whatever. Life is way way too short to worry about punctuation.
OK...am done now.

OK I figured Pago out. He/she is tweet addicted and, therefore, never writes anything longer than 140 characters. Accordingly, the original post, with seven sentences in the offending paragraph, appears freaky. Seven sentences is a dandy paragraph IMHO . . . and I think my eighth grade English teacher would have thought so as well.
Hey, I just discovered that long postings read better if you narrow the window, too!

I didn't think it was that long either. Here's a tip for those who do have trouble reading long paragraphs that might help. Left-click at the start and, as you read through it, drag the cursor down to highlight the part already read. I don't know if that will help other people, but I often do it. It helps keep my eyes where they need to be.

Interesting how people's interpretation on certain ways of life can vary. Thanks for sharing this, godzzla.

Have watched the video several time now. Great history. Really appreciate the posting.
Old Wife, thanks for the tip with the left click....didn't work for me but I'm satisfied with my solution to my problem with reading long paragraphs.

A simpler way for me to explain the left-click thing is just highlight the text as you read it (highlight up to just behind where your eyes are...it keeps your eyes in the right place on the screen).
