       iThis phost is not about peanut butter,
       ibut about plain text.
       iI recently read a blog post [0]
       ishared by dbucklin [1]
       iover on the #gopher channel on irc.sdf.org
       iabout writing text that breaks text 
       iinto chunks of semantic ideas or sentences.
       iWhile it seems to make the text a bit longer
       iit really does help with readability
       ias well as version controll diffs
       iand even editing.
       i
       iAs I've been writing this phost
       iI've been moving sentences around
       ieither in part or in whole.
       iHaving a period always at the end of a line
       iand sentences always begin on a new line
       iis remarkably helpful.
       iThere is a bit of a congative disconnect
       iwhile I adjust to breaking up my text
       iin a way that doesn't feel as natural
       ias my writing style normally is,
       ibut that can be attributed to it being new
       iand my forced attention on the style
       ito ensure I'm doing it properly.
       iEven now,
       ias I end this second paragraph
       ithe technique is becoming more natural in flow.
       i
       iI'd like to know
       iwhether this format 
       imakes things more difficult for you to read
       ior makes it easier to scan.
       iPlease send me an email,
       ia toot on mastodon,
       ior a phlog reply
       iwith your thoughts.
       i
       iI see this as an easy way to
       iauthor my markdown blogs,
       isince the natural formatting of markdown
       iwill ride these paragarphs into a single block.
       iWriting this way for drafts
       ialso makes a lot of sense.
       iI'm really only concerned about
       iusing it in its broken--almost poetry-like--format
       iin a medium like gopher
       iwhere people will read it this way,
       ior in my books
       iwhere I will want to
       ieventually refomat things into manuscript form
       iwith clear dialogue formatting
       iand section breaks.
       i
       iI think I'll give this a try for a while.
