[ICOM] Does this "bug" you?

[Ray Swan]

Carl is referring to what I refer to a "data dump" or "puking you thoughts" 
up onto the screen.  It's extremely hard to read.  If the communique is long 
enough you darn near have to put your fingers on the screen so you can rest 
your eye without getting lost.  There are two reasons to start a fresh 
paragraph **with a line break**.  They are to change topic or direction of 
what ever you are writing and    TO MAKE YOUR LETTER MORE PLEASING TO THE 
EYE AND EASIER TO FOLLOW.     Put 150 sentances into one paragraph and it 
requires immense effort to read to keep from getting lost. If you stop to 
blow your nose your screwed and have to start all over!

I don't think he's talking about making the lines of text too long as we all 
know you can reduce the width of your screen and the words will 
automatically wrap.....hence word wrap!

It's kind of like the game show, can I buy a vowel?  How about a paragraph 
break or two :D

all the best, don't get offended!

I don't wish to point fingers nor do I wish
publicly criticize what others have written  -
but -  would it be asking too much for the writer
to insert a <CR> or two and line feeds on their
text?  Most often I see this emanating from
hand-held devices and, most likely, the writer
has no idea of how it looks to the recipients.

Not wanting to start a flame war, just asking.
