Holy shit Khuutra.  I don't think I've ever spent that much time on a post without it being an OP in a new thread.  I think that wall of text should be required reading for new members.

I loved this short-but-sweet quote in particular, and think it sums up life, the universe, and everything:

I think that was the most effective wall of text I've seen here, from both design and content perspectives.  It was split up into small digestible chunks (not much of a wall at all then), with a back-and-forth between white boxes and the grey background, making it easy on the eyes whether I read it or not, and came with Godzilla and Picard, to hold my hands and guide me through the scarier bits.  And it had small 2-sentence paragraphs like the one above, which are fast and "radio friendly," like a talking point.

And not only that, you actually let us know you were working on a big post and disappeared for a while, actually hyping up a wall of text.  Has anybody even done that before?  You're insane!

Congratulations?
