Ever heard of a paragraph?
 
Ok people, I'm not trying to be the grammar gestapo (trust me, far from it, so save your flames), but have some of you never heard of breaking up your posts with a paragraph?

INSERT PARAGRAPH BREAK HERE.

Although I'm actually interested in reading many of your more detailed (read long) posts, it's to the point of painful - at times.

For the sake of some of the more attention challenged/bleary eyed readers here, please, break up your posts... some how!

Like I said, this is not a grammar criticism, it just makes reading posts much easier.

Thanks!

I agree that posts are much easier to read if they are broken up.

No flames from me.

Amen, Malvado!!! I try to remember to do it if I have a lot to say, but don't always!

The following is presented with tongue firmly in cheek, however it does have a ring of truth:

" Ok people, I'm not trying to be the grammar gestapo"

It's not you, it's me....

It's not about the money....

It's not that I don't want to be with you this weekend but....

I have found that whenever someone starts out a statement with what they don't mean...it actually is exactly what they do mean.

Starting a new paragraph wouldn't really be a grammar issue would it?
