Ferrari Mailing List: Who cares?

[Paul Bennett (pbennett]

FWIW - I tune out when there is no white space every 4 lines or so.
My eyes simply can NOT handle all those tightly spaced words.   
Which is a shame because they are probably well thought out and 
contain great ideas.

Call it a age thing...old eyes with bad implants.  After cataract surgery the 
new 
corneas allow much extra light requiring sun glasses but I've found none
which work with for monitors.    Consider the added lines like taking a breath.

I know..who cares?
