JanisJ - really????

Pepperwood - I don't usually comment on forums but this post just made me wonder about people and their need to control. Thank you for the report. Period.

This is a forum, people - not an English Composition internet-based college class!

LOL! (notice the paragraph breaks ;O)

Again, thanks pepperwood. It makes me look forward to my trip to Ireland where people are friendly. I hope it looks the way you eloquently described (did you kiss the blarney stone?). Your opinion matters in a forum. THAT is the point.

mssully143: I think maybe I understood janisj's intention a little differently than you did? It seems to me that the paragraphs are more for an easier-reading type thing, not correcting form as for an 'English Composition'. That way the OP winds up with more visitors/comments since more people get all the way through what is a very interesting trip report.

Of course...at this point in my planning, ANY trip report on Ireland is interesting! LOL!

<B>missully123</B>: I did not change ONE WORD of pepperwood's interesting trip report. I merely copied it over w/ paragraph breaks.

I notice you just registered and this was your first ever post. Once you've been around a while, you'll learn that most people will not take the time to read long posts that don't have breaks. It is just too hard to read on a small computer screen.

I re-formatted pepperwood's report so all her work of writing it would not go to waste -- <u>so more people could read it</u>

My goodness - good deeds are misunderstood/slammed sometimes -- but this was ridiculous.

<B>It wasn't about changing the report -- at all. It was so folks might READ IT -- Okay w/ you????

I have to agree with janisj;

She just offered constructive criticism.

The minute I clicked on the Trip report and startd to read, I said to my " Oh my Goodness" , wish there were some paragraph breaks!

So I started scrolling through the report trying to hit on some key point.!

I know,I know my attention span is next to zero

pepperwood you did a good job and I am sure now in future reports you will give us many paragraps breaks.

I also read you South America report , it was "tough sledding" because there were no page breaks.

Anyway , Welcome back home.
