They are not mutually exclusive. I think that I could have phrased the "wall of text" comment a bit better.

Basically, I think we've all encountered sites that have huge blocks of text that could be broken into discrete sections (AKA "paragraphs").

Paragraphing is a bit of an "artform." All of the rules are heuristics, not "hard and fast." I feel that it helps my prose to be more readable, if I break it up.

One reason is that, even though I am fairly prolific, I am not a "top notch" writer, so I need all the help I can get.
