Have you ever noticed that some posts to the PCT-L exceed the right margin and continue on and on and on, far past the right margin? And if you're accessing the PCT-L online (rather than downloading via email), it can take up to 36 minutes (slight exaggeration to make a point) to read one post simply because you constantly have to scroll and read, scroll and read, scroll and read? This happens because the author of the post allows the text to "wrap" instead of hitting the return key at the end of each sentence. If you depress the return key at the end of each sentence (like typing on a typewriter), your post will NOT go on and on and on for a mile, but will instead be properly formatted and OH so much easier to read online. Seriously. Hard Return. Try it!
