First off let's agree that men are pigs, OK? I'm a pig, I want to boink everything in sight, it's been programmed into me by eons of genetic selection.

Do I act on my genetic programming in a civilized society? No. The society in which I was raised taught me that was a bad thing to do.

Women obviously have different genetic programming. I've long stopped trying to understand their programming, I just try to "get along" with them. I'm satisfied that I understand my own programming.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, yadayadayada.

Just because a lot of what I think you're complaining about is male hormone induced, it doesn't mean any of us would act on it. It's just men being men. Set it aside, accept it, and get to the root of what the post says.

With that aside, may I suggest that you break your posts into paragraphs.

It improves readability and gives you a better chance of having your posts read. When I see a post that's one long screen of text with no breaks, I generally skip it and move on to the next post.

It only takes a minimal amount of work, (and extra keystrokes) but with a little practice, it's relatively easy to do.

Here's the FR page for what they call the HTML Sandbox

It's an intro to how to post on FR using HTML.

Another thing, by breaking your posts in paragraphs, it helps organize your thoughts; subject, body of what you want to say, conclusion, etc...

I'm not flaming you, just trying to help out.

LOL...my husband is constantly saying, "Hey, I'm a pig."

I wouldn't have him any other way.

Thank you. Yours is the most civil post I've received. I don't post often, and will not in all likelihood post again. Your suggestions are appreciated, regardless.
