it is not just amateur typists. as I said earlier in the debate, all news sites, all web articles use blank lines between paras + no indents. even amazon's own Kindle user guide does this.
I had become so used to that that at first I did not believe that printed books had no blank lines - I had to go check some!
I found one that didn't - my wife has a printed book of open university study notes and that uses web style formatting.
