Good ...

Go to another thread and tell us how fabulous shump is if only ... That is pretty easy to follow ....

That format is very hard to follow

yeah - its horrible

Will chime in on this just this once. If F5 actually wants anyone to read their posts, and I cannot most of the time, then they will adapt their formatting.

It is just alien to the way the human system processes type. F5, your format is perceived as typographic white noise and cannot be processed. It is violently unpleasant to look at. It adds a completely unnecessary undercurrent of biological aggression to everything you post and this works against you.

So, if you really think people are reading your posts of more than say 10 of your single lines, guess again. Most will not.

This is a formatting criticism, so don't take it personally. It is merely an honest one-time comment to another person who may actually want to have conversations. If you persist, there is simply no choice but to NOT read the majority of what you post.

I can't handle your formatting either and I consider myself open-minded about these things as I've had a very solid background in matters of typesetting and design. Its not quirky or interesting. It just reads horrifically and eliminates you from the consideration of many readers.

I put him on Ignore List (the only one) just that I can collapse his post so that I can look at a thread without getting dizzy.

I still expand it when I want to see what he writes. Often he has interesting insight where I find myself on the same page.

Lately he is reminding me of a smarter version of TKF (who was pretty damn dumb).

For the most part, I like him posting here but like you, I wish that his format was readable. Seems to be a bit stubborn and sensitive about it.

And you'll notice the weaker and more strident his argument gets, the longer he strings out his posts. It's interesting, actually.

Classic case of "I've got nothing" therefore

Attack poster in some way taking thread off-topic

Atypical Schmil yet conversation ongoing

Hence the replies keep coming, their format I guess stellar

But the depth of content low budget

Its not personal ... people like and want to converse with you, you are a good poster.

However, if we want to engage in dialogue and we civilly request that you change your format so that it is easier to read (and its certainly painful to read), why the stubbornness? Not sure what you are trying to prove?

Be a team player.

Nothing further. Moving on.
