One Thing I Want To Know...


Neolitic,

Why do all of
your posts wrap like
this when all of the
rest of our posts look
normal?

It drives me crazy.

Please tell me that
you don't put all those
returns in when you are
typing.

I already answered that elsewhere. He's trying to write haikus.

At Least He Doesn't Type Everything Like This!

I like it.
I think it's easier to read.

I'm just happy he doesn't use some silly font or underline everything.

Re: One Thing I Want To Know...


I'm not sure why he does it, I know I have done it myself when people post large pictures and the text is taken way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way off what you can view without having to scroll horizontally, I hate scrolling horizontally.

Re: One Thing I Want To Know...


Slow typing,
slow thinking?
An attempt to be clear,
and yes, it is a habit
from typing an a real typewriter.
Every time a thought or prase
is complete, or....
Hit the return lever.
Sorry to bother you Greg,
the dense copy no punctuation run on marathon single sentence no paragraph no grammatical syntax free barely
though out ones are what really give me a headache and geeze its even difficult to force myself to do this cause
i have to keep hitting the delete key to take out the breaks where i really feelalmost compelled to put
them in i love james joyce but geeze it's a hard slog to get to the beauty of the poetry in the wordssee what i
mean is this better or should i go back to what comes naturally it's hard for an old guy to change what feels right
you see i cant even help my sorry self putting in an occasional
punctuation mark for contractions and possessives

Re: One Thing I Want To Know...


OOPS!
Didn't realize I'd blow the
screen up like that!
I can edit it, those over sized
pix drive me nuts.
Greg, I am serious, if I were
to intentionally annoy anyone here
(and I'm sure that's happened )
it wouldn't be you.

Re: One Thing I Want To Know...


There, now that's cleaned up.
(some what)
Editing doesn't seem to bring
the screen back to normal?

Now that I think about it,
most of my thoughts really
aren't complex enough to require
more than five or six words at a time!

The thing that attracted my attention
to this post, wasn't the title.
It was who posted it.

Maybe I should have said,
I love to read James Joyce.
But it's more accurate to say I like
to listen to his books on tape.
When I was a certain age "Ulysses"
was a must read, simply because it
was banned!
