Paragraphs, like punctuation, serve a purpose: they make the text not only easier to read, but also clarify the meaning.From the title of the well-known book:
Eats shoots and leaves. (An animal)
or
Eats, shoots and leaves. (A gangster)
For that reason, I always make an attempt to write my responses with the good of the reader in mind.
On the other hand, I may well state an opinion with which many do not agree, but that's their look out!

I'm also guilty of using quotation marks incorrectly and not using them when using written speech.
I sometimes think that if I leave a blank space or line I'm wasting Mb of the forums storage space. I use a small 7 inch tablet or phone so I'm typing one finger.
I also worry about adding to threads that are a couple of days old. Today I want to add to the Christmas lights thread with some photos as well but the thread is now a couple of days old so do I just add or should I start a new thread which seems wrong to me.
You should go for it with your photos in the thread that's already started... photos are always good to look at

Re: Posts I never read..
TBH I've not seen a post that is a complete block of words, but then I do not read all threadsI've explained before on another forum, I'm dislexic and struggle with finding the word I want to write. Life is easier with a keyboard and auto correct and spell checker, but if I'm struggling on how a word even begins to be spelled, I'm knackered
Takes me an age to format a post, so I understand other people's struggles
Yes paragraphs make life easier, but as long as someone is having their voice heard, what does it really matter in the great scheme of things if they do t put them in?
