Ones a request made very politely and yours is often an underlying criticism which annoys people. Perhaps you need to brush up on your politeness gene?

Discrimination writ large...in my book.

Er...? Why is it ok to ask that paragraphs be used but not ok to ask that people put full stops and commas to make the text easier to read smoothly?

I totally agree Phoenix. When I see a thread that appears interesting and then click on it I find it very off putting when there are no paras. It is so difficult to read that I usually give up. I also agree about the double spaces between paras.

Phoenix
Thank you for bring this subject up. It has been requested before but posters choose to ignore the polite request.
When I see these posts without paragraphs I don't read them.

Is your real name Rees Mogg????

Of course I will comply with your request though it was made so politely.

Cheers

Hello all,

Please may I politely ask for more use of paragraphs?

I know of at least one GN member with sight problems, and they have told me that they find posts much easier to read when they are separated into paragraphs.

I would like to go a step further, (if I may) and suggest a double space between paragraphs, it does make it easier on the eye when reading!

Thank you.
