I have once again realized that if a thread has more than 10 sentences i am unable to read it. No paragraphs? I just C A N N O T manage it

Let alone a Wall O Text

So if i dont reply on some threads that is why.

That's ok. Some of us can and others can't. It just kind of depends on how much time I have. I usually come back to them though. Best wishes.

I definitely can't respond to posts where the entire post is a single massive paragraph. My eyes just get lost and then I have no patience to read anymore. So I feel you on that one, but that's just me personally.

I really wish I could respond to some of those wall-of-texts posts, though. Usually people put a lot of effort into long posts in general, but I just can't focus if it's beyond a certain length

@thickntired I am sorry about your wrist.

Ya I hear ya, same with picking up a long book with the tiny font. Just can't do it. Guess it's a focus/concentration thing.

I used to be able to read the walls of text when I had my desk top back with Windows 7 but now on a iPad mini, no more.

I take one look at a wall of text and am immediately overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I suspect I miss a lot of valuable posts this way. Paragraphs, paragraphs, paragraphs please!

LOL Blue!

I was taught speed reading in school, but that doesn't even help sometimes. I understand that people will write their backstory in order to get help with an issue. Still, a wall of text is rather intimidating.
Thanks for this!
