Even then, though, I can see how your advice would be useful, if
one had time to follow it, for it would lead one to break up one's Serious
Long Thoughts into digestible screen-sized chunks. Maybe the best
way to blog would be to have a preliminary blog where one stores
thoughts uncritically, and a Front-Line Blog where one carefully
inscribes one's polished best thoughts in small portions. I'd almost be
willing to try this if I thought I could attract more than five or six
regular
readers.

I think, as well as the points Chris made about journalism generally, and
your own points, Bob, there's a special dynamic about list-posts, that may
apply to blogs too.
I find I break up paragraphs *much more on list posts than in any other mode
of writing, partly because I find it difficult to follow long blocks of
paragraphs when I'm reading them myself, as they're laid out on the screen.
So it's almost one thought to one sentence [block], something perhaps
specific to emails and posts.
Just a thot.
