Jun 19, 2010 at 17:06 comment added Kim Morrison @Andrew L, I suggest you follow danseetea's advice --- look very carefully at the preview box before you post. Make sure that the paragraphs are separated properly, and that you've correctly put a space after each punctuation mark (commas and full stops). If there really is a discrepancy between what you type and what the preview shows or what finally displays, as you've claimed to me in email, please take a screen shot and send it to me.
Jun 19, 2010 at 16:19 comment added The Mathemagician Fine by me,Andrey-MO has been giving me a lot of grief since I joined over this-hope danseetea's advice clears things up finally.
Jun 19, 2010 at 11:25 comment added Andrey Rekalo Andrew L, I've split the text into separate paragraphs. Hope, it's OK with you.

Split into separate paragraphs.
Jun 19, 2010 at 11:10 comment added danseetea Andrew - 1) When separating into paragraphs you need to use TWO new lines rather than one 2) Always look at the preview before posting your answer, then fix it accordingly.
Jun 19, 2010 at 8:01 comment added lambdafunctor Thank you, Andrew; your comment and detailed list certainly gives me a lot to consider. I love that there exists some consensus here as to which few books to look for! I will have to go with the wisdom of the MO community here :)
Jun 19, 2010 at 7:46 comment added Gerhard Paseman For a start, I suggest using the ENTER key to create shorter paragraphs. When the IRS uses short paragraphs, their letters seem more readable to me. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.06.19
Jun 19, 2010 at 7:28 comment added The Mathemagician ARRRRGHHHHH!!! PLEASE someone tell me why the punctuation and formatting never comes out on any of my posts and they all end up looking like a letter from the IRS!!!
