It's such a pain to read a post that's got a white space after each line of text. Is it really necessary to do it? I'm a typist from way back and we would never have been allowed to do it anywhere but draft manuscripts and legal documents where handwritten insertions were frequent. White space between paragraphs certainly, but not between single lines, PLEASE.

I agree.

Completely unnecessary.

Guess there's a place for superimposing previous employment experience and standards on some forums... but on a general forum?

Wanted to ask your opinon, Andy. Do you think a post's thumbs down tally should also be double spaced? For example, the post immidiately above your would look something like this...

:: thumbs down ::

:: plus (+) ::

:: thumbs down ::
_______________

:: = two thumbs down ::

:: gb's post ::

::lol::

Yeah and you know I like you too, but that is like saying we cannot appreciate a firework display

Edited to include white spaces.

Kev, believe it or not, several years ago I knew an Anal Surgeon (gorgeous hottie at a major
city hospital in Suburban Chicago), whose nickname among her peers and colleagues was
The Rear Admiral
