Well, at least you can tell him he should be relieved to know we massaged the idea from every vantage point.

I think tying it to some dubious medical purpose is over-thinking it, and probably would fail the laugh test in an audit. But I don't think it's necessary to go there in the first place. This is a chair, period. The fact that it has a massage feature is irrelevant, unless maybe that adds thousand of dollars to the cost. How much does the massage chair cost, anyhow? Most of us use chairs that have piston tubes that allow us to adjust height of the chair and/or spring mechanisms that allow us to adjust the resistance when we lean back. Those features aren't really "necessary", since we could just use a wooden chair with no adjustments, or maybe just a hard plastic chair that only costs $20 at K-Mart. So where exactly is the line drawn with respect to what's deductible? Besides, I'll bet the chair that the auditor sits in at his/her office to write up the audit report cost many times what the massage chair would cost, and based upon how the government throws money around, it might NOT even be any more useful than the $20 plastic version.

Eric, Before the upgrade, we used to get single spacing when making a carriage return/hit enter. Now it is double spaced. I am guessing that you are using Word as your editor for these posts, and the great and powerful gods of Microsoft have declared that that is how the defaults should go. Can I change the settings, just for me to have a single line when adding a carriage return? If yes, how do I do that? If not, can you change it globally, and if so are you willing to change it for everyone just because I don't like it the way it is now? Thanks Eric. Appreciate all you do. Tom Newark, CA

The Enter key creates a new Paragraph. On the web, Paragraphs almost always are double spaced (have a bottom margin, that is, white space between paragraphs) to improve readability. The reason that style is so common is because indentation of the first line (like in newspapers) is almost never used and not having either styling leads to a difficult-to-read monolithic slab of text with no visual separation between paragraphs. It's pretty much standard practice for Enter to create a Paragraph. There isn't a feature to change it per-user, I'm afraid. The only thing I could do is change Paragraph styling site-wide to remove that bottom margin for all paragraphs, which I'm reluctant to do for two reasons: I'm not sure that everyone wants it that way, like I said Enter = Paragraph is pretty standardMore importantly, every paragraph in every thread would lose its bottom margin, and as a result we'd have no spacing between paragraphs, just that monolithic slab of text in every post.Anyway, in instances where you don't want a new paragraph, what you're looking for is a "line break". Most word processors, including Word and this site's editor have a shortcut to create a line break. Here (and in many programs) it's Shift+Enter. Sometimes it's Ctrl+Enter. If your problem is that you have changed the default behavior in Word and other applications, and when you get here you're creating double paragraphs by mistake... All I can say is sorry for the frustration
