Oh, and perhaps there are newbie-wanna-bees in their little flock
who can't keep up for more than a
line at a time before they lose their concentration.
I blame the modern education system.
Some would blame the environmental polution for destroying us at a foetul stage.
Yet others, I suppose, would simply call it evolution in a sort of rever d then some
space. Does anyone but me find it
fascinating how humanity spent... 😛
appreciated, rejected or believed (and assimilated). Food metaphor comes to mind. Believe most all line cooks and chefs worth their
salt take pains to plan, prepare and present their work product with maximum visual appeal. The eye discriminates just as effectively
and frequently as the nose and palate. Kitchen may be busy all day long combining hard won expertise with the finest ingredients.
What objective is achieved if the presentation is met with a polite 'no thanks' and much of the exquisite meal is left on the plate?

Darv, same fellow that spawned the 'I'm an alcoholic' thread a few days ago. I'll bump it to bring HOH's last post to your attention. Gotta give
credit though where it's due... Rabbits or no rabbits, newcomer's profile reflects out of the hat chess performance which is exceptional.
Edit; Ever seriously wonder if Bowman might return and if he ...[text shortened]... , what his persona might be? Hmm... a less than immaculate boy/man incarnation???

Oh, sorry. One line at a time and then some

This is meant in a friendly way.
Robbie, if you want your message to get read by the most people possible, you need to present it better. Many will look at the large block of text above and not even bother to scan it.
Break it up into paragraphs and put white space between them. (Like this). Be consistant in your capitalization (I). Split the loooong sentences into two or more manageable ones.
You don't need to "dumb down" your ideas or avoid complex arguements. But people will never know what you have to say if they don't bother to read it because of the physical layout of the text.
Best,
Steve

At 55 years old I'm not a product of the modern education system. Hell, I can even diagram sentences! Thanks Gramps and Shav for spelling out what I was trying to say. And again sorry Jigtie for any offense.
