Do people read anymore ?

I noticed that attitudes have changed ehre over the past few years. People used to jokingly ask for Cliff Notes when the post was more than 6 or 7 sentences. Nowdays people demand them for the same thing.
 
I usually read the long posts because sometimes they are pretty entertaining. However, those who do not know how to fscking use paragraphs piss me off.
 
I got as far as "Everyone just" and decided your post is way too long. Can you shorten it / paraphrase?
 
I am confused by your point.

If there were limited busses, and the seats were full, no one would put a pet on and force humans to stay behind. That would be true with Katrina too.

But in reality, the pets and people aren't going to/from the same places. It isn't like they would be competing for the same bus in the first place. People bussed to human shelters. Pets bussed on separate busses to pet shelters. Obviously the busses would transport the people first then pets if there is time. Or maybe, just maybe more busses will be operating due to this legislation so there is the ability to save that many more people.

Agreed. A little bit of formatting goes a long way.

I wholy agree.
 
For being such a geek forum, and hardly anyone reads anymore, bit ironic. Sad too.

I do agree about using paragraphs, correct punctuation. It just gets annoying trying to read some of this garbage.

Thank you for the terribly unfunny waste of a post. Get it guys? The thread is about people asking for cliff notes, and this genius is asking for them when it really isn't required.

Poor structure just makes it a pain in the ass to read. Same thing with bad grammar and spelling.

That's a good point. While I've seen some obviously rude demands for cliffs for OPs that aren't even that long, I've also seen some OPs that put The Stand to shame on length, but contain nothing of substance or interest.
