> Dear Indymedia,
> On the article submission page, please could you put up a big banner type

> in line breaks regularly).  There has been a tendency recently for huge
> articles to be posted as a solid block of text which makes it completely
> unreadable for those with dyslexia or other reading difficulties (and also
> extremely annoying even totally for able readers).

> To post articles in this way is lazy, prejudiced against the less able and
> also a total waste of your web space as very few people will read the
> articles.  For an example of this see the Fluoride article

> Cheers,
