Did you ever see someone’s posts and just skim thru it?
Well, I skim alot, yes, I admit it, I’m a skimmer…but at least I admit my faults.
Sometimes tho, even when you skim, you can’t skim fast enough.
I chat on this other site and this one person, it’s all about her and her family, they have no money but have money to spend on their only child’s EXTRA CURRICULAR activities.
Yes I am a skimmer - I am especially put off by long threads.
Even if it’s just a long paragraph I haven’t the will to read it.
Most of my own posts have lots of spaces between sentences. I try not to post long paragraphs.
Not that my style is the right style - it’s just the way I am.
Spacing sentences out adds a ‘graphical’ element to the text (causing sentences to be seperate ‘objects’ rather than seperate text ‘elements’)
I wish we had avatars. Mine would be this picture I have of a pigeon.
The expression on the face of the pigeon (completely blank - as if someone stole it’s brain) is a classic.
I skim… really long blocks of text are offputting. On the other hand, I hate posts where every sentence is its own paragraph - I find that extremely annoying.
