I just feel like people might be annoyed to see a long, virtually endless paragraph taking up their friends page, so I cut it for them. It's weird, because I don't mind seeing long uncut paragraphs on my own friends page...

Also, sometimes it might be too much personal stuff for some people to want to know or something, so it's a chance for them to skip without accidentally reading something they don't care about.

Basically, I'm neurotic about rules I don't actually mind if nobody else goes by. o0
