Post formatting.
Off topic aside... I have written Message 1 which will answer a few questions that have come up in various threads recently. I believe this will be a useful guide for new posters, and even dare to suggest that the official forum rules could include a link to such a style guide; not as something to be enforced but as answers to questions new users often have about writing posts.

Sylas, I just have to ask. Is your avatar really a picture of you on a really bad day?
Worse than that... it's me on a good day. Check out the hilarious exchange of insults and digs starting from Message 1. My favourite bit is message 38 of that thread.

Sylas is trying to be as recognizably Australian as the Sydney Opera House, seen in his latest mug shot wearing his pet Thylacine on his head. Ned looks like the Dalai Lama stuck in traffic.
Some of the comments are a bit out of date with avatar changes. Mine is due for change also, just as soon as I find a decent barber.
Added in edit. Nosy and I were so overcome by all this flattery that we have not changed our avatars since; but that happy state of affairs will not last forever. Yaro has changed since, but the new one still fits my comments on the meaning of "Yaro". This marks the end of my off-topic additions here; but the thread is now so dispersed as to be useless anyway.

I am working on this Sylas.
I think many people could benefit from a guide like this. I'm happy to see some folks have already found it helpful.
However, to be frank, you have much more serious problems than formatting to worry about. I just posted a little rant, and spelt out some of those problems. I submitted it as a new topic, because it belongs in the Free For All forum. It would not be apprppriate for me to rant like that here.
I'm completely serious in that rant. You think about it. I remain ready to engage with mutual respect; but this thread is now dead, since people cannot manage to stay on topic.
Cheers -- Sylas

Off-topic again; but I've seen this error a couple of times now. You're forgetting the orthodox churches. The division between the Western Roman church and the Eastern Orthodox church resulted from the "Photian Schism" of 867; or in the events around 1067, depending on how you look at it. Lots of information available on-line.

Re: There had to be a first!
I invite those who want to respond this post by Desdamona to make use of the rant thread I started in the Free For All forum. I have done so, in Message 46.
