As my buddy on my TM Sidhis course said, "these people have overstimulated intellects." Years later I found out why and that is because agni mantras like Saraswati mantras will over stimulate the intellect unless balancing measures are taken. People also become more vata practicing them and will tend to ramble when they write. I also detect that anyone that writes pages of text here is vata imbalanced. That is a typical trait and results in someone living in their own cerebral world. This is something I took from MMY's discussion on the intellect and observed with intellectuals I met since. FYI, just to remind you that hard coded line returns went out of style in the 1980s. Today's email clients word wrap fine. Your posts when viewed on a mobile email client don't wrap well not to mention how the FFL web interface may look on phones and tablets. Leave it up to the software.
