It's a punctuated, paragraphed, ... edifice of text.
Neil's posts, although long, are usually a pleasure to read.
Add to that the fact that he's doing his best to bring out the best in others so they can excel in the craft. If someone finds his posts too long to read, they probably shouldn't be playing RPGs.

I have only been on the Paizo messageboards for 2 years now. I have learned more than I had in the 12 years prior. Neil's comments are insightful for balance and design. His walls are amazing. I wonder how many ranks of Craft (textwall) he has?

I have considered removing Neil's ability to use the spoiler tag, because I think his walls of text do not deserve to be hidden. Philistines can scroll on by.
Remove his 'Spoiler' tag ability and replace it with a 'Portal' tag that transports his posts to random spaces on the Internet. ;-)

Or, at the very least, hack it so that instead of 'spoiler' it reads, just for him, 'Further Masonry' :)

Pfft. No. I type reasonably fast, but I haven't clocked myself in a really long time. Like...since high school. So, decades ago. I think the best I ever pulled was something like 97 wpm and that was before correcting for errors. My real problem is that my brain tends to think faster than my hands can keep up. That's why I have this tendency to sometimes skip entire words as opposed to simply misspelling something. And, sadly, there's little that a spellchecker can do to help me catch stuff like that. So, I have this tendency to go back and proofread every post, making small corrections and adjustments, as necessary. It's the OCD in me. :-/

It sounds like you could use a Dvorak keyboard. It takes a few weeks to get the hang of it, but it is insanely faster to type afterwards.
