(Ron) The reason why I don't type my comments underneath the persons quotes is twofold. (1) I don't like the style. If the conversation goes on, especially with several people, it gets hideous in format and really only benefits the two talkers. An onlooker loses interest quickly. (2) Paragraphs, I think, make the remarks more substantive. They force your to organize your points before you offer them. They make you digest the other person's mail before sending your own. It also discourages talking off the top of the head. And as well it discourages placing comments below a sentence, only to find that, three sentences later, something is said that should have erased the first injection. Bottom line: if composition is too easy, the matter starts looking like a chat room. Also, the paragraph-format makes the message board more readable. (Although I don't think people read it as much anymore). Regards and thanks Dr. Sean Wilson, Esq.
