The fact that there's a highway to hell and only a stairway to heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers.

It is easier to read then. Thanks. No.TL;DR then.It would have been equally long with paragraphs. Not going to change the way I write for you. If that means it doesn't get read because I'm not willing to present it the way you want to look at it, then okay with that.

It's weird anyone would suggest you do that. Have probably been critical at some point of others writing, but would be irritated if they actually changed it because of that.

Which is fine, but my eyesight makes reading paragraphs like that very hard, so I tend to avoid them. It's a shame because it means I sometimes miss out on things.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
It's not often am inspired to talk this much. You should thank him.

I think my eyesight has something to do with it as well. I will just have to miss out.
I don't think paragraph breaks have much to do with style for me. Mine is in the meaning of the words. Patterns do emerge but they tend to be things like repeated phrases lined up with each other. Not on purpose.
Paragraphs are generally five character indents, not double spacing of lines breaking text into small chunks with gaps between. Not certain how people manage reading much of anything.
Got taught that paragraphing is as important as punctuation. Most of the time sentences are readable and understandable without punctuation. But, sometimes the meaning becomes obscure without.
