Everyone:
Honestly.. the best method is to not let it bug you anymore. It's only a
seething issue to you because you let it be.
You're suggesting that one use 15 blank lines just so that you don't
have to see any of these self-inflicted transgressions. It would be much
simpler and less taxing on all involved to simply not let it bother you
anymore.
"Impossible!" you may cry.. but I don't believe so. I used to be the
same. It's easily beatable. You could send twenty paragraphs of
so-called 'legal text' suffixed to your email and I wouldn't so much as
bat an eye. It may take some personal effort but you need to learn to
'let it go'.
This is a non-issue in the scope of things and you've made a mountain
out of this grain of sand. Brush it aside and move on. It isn't worth
your time.
