Not going to name names, but...
#4135586 - 05/04/05 11:22 PM (18 years, 10 months ago) |

On a recent thread, there were some big BLOCK paragraphs. I can't read those. For those of you who don't understand why I can't read those (and I know there are others here who have a similar complaint), I can't explain it.
It just simply makes my brain have to work too hard to read big paragraphs, so I skip them. I hate to have to skip them, because I feel like I am missing out on something.
Just as a reminder, and only if you want to do this, please break your paragraphs down into 2 or 3 sentences per paragraph. If you don't want to do this, that is fine. I just hate missing out on something someone wrote.
Keep in mind that this is my problem. I just like to be able to read everything that everyone writes when I click on a thread, and when I come to a post that has big, block paragraphs, I have a difficult time reading it.
Me and my brain. Sigh.

What do you think the philosophy behind this method is?
(had to give it a bump, and make it pertinant to the forums )
-------------------- "Their is one overriding question that concerns us all: How can we get out of the fatal groove we are in, the one that is leading towards the brink?" Albert Szent-Gyorgyi "We may not be capable of eradicating the corruption of reason, but we must nevertheless counter it at every instance and with every means." Dan Agin "Politics is the best religion and politicians are the worst followers." -It's ok to trip as long as you don't fall. -Substance over Style. -Common sense is uncommon.

There is absolutely no philosophy behind this. However, I want to make everyone aware of this issue.
Okay, wait, let my brain think of a philosophy behind this issue: (meditating here) aaaaaaauuuuuummmmmmm
Nope, stil no philosophy behind this, except that this issue has been raised in the past, and others have agreed, that when a big block paragraph is posted, it's difficult for some of us to read, so we don't read.

I have no f'ing clue what any of you are talking about. You might as well of posted big block paragraphs.
The first person to explain his philosophical theory, in regard to this thread, gets a date with Swami, and Swami pays.

lol! actually there is a philosophy in that, drawn from graphic design. paragraphs should be kept to a few sentances (usually the max i've heard suggested is 5), and each line should be arranged on the page to have no more then 7 words (why you see magazines breaking up text into multiple columns). There's other stuff too, like not letting words line up over more then three lines creating "waterfalls" (spaces lines up cutting up a paragraph). There's more but i only do graphic design on the side. *shrug* The "index" series of books are great for learning more

I agree...it is tiresome to pore over 2000 word paragraphs. It is also poor communications to force people to do so.
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
