I made a well arranged post for my request, nothing fancy
Pressing Enter to end lines and insert appropriate empty lines.
When satisfied it was well laid out and readable I pressed Continue.
All my arrangement was removed and the post is now one huge line.
Now I've rebuilt it in Notepad++.
How can I get it to format on the wishlist.
I'll print my post here so you can see how it was intended to look
If it can't be formatted, on the wishlist, here will have to do

All my Steam Exclusives on GOG
Post
First not the same as I payed Steam, want GOG version for free. Also no real category match to this, not feature or game
I made a public announcement recently that XCOM 2 was the last game I will ever buy on Steam due to they're awful meddling in modding games.
GOG understands modding, it leaves well alone. No GOG Workshop thankfully. Good Modding requires the user, on GOG (and Steam), to be in complete control of the files.
GOG does this, provide stable base games, DRM free with installer. THe Galaxy Client is optional, I a SPG player, I detest all online clients, including Galaxy, but even modding on Galaxy is OK.
The client and importantly updates, are under the users full control. Not on Steam where all updates are forced, at most users can delay update for 23 hours.
Steam introduced the Workshop to monetize all modding. To do that Steam must control all the files, they'll eventually Stream the game and give you no files at all. To monetise mods, Publishers must fully control all the games and mods files. Just like modders must to keep control, to avoid that.
Valve didn't understand this with Skyrim, they've learnt that now, by failing. So unlike the "Give me free games, I bought on Steam", rubbish. This is the only way this can happen.
GOG needs to persuade AAA publishers that we will buy the games they release on GOG. This is to aid that effort with solid evidence that Steam owners will switch and pay to switch, if it's as important to you as me you'll make the same pledge.
A vote for this should be considered another matching pledge, if that's too much for you, post what you would do/want and don't vote.
The Promise I make to GOG is this
I've already pledged to never buy another game from Steam. These join it.
I pledge to buy every single game I already own on Steam, the day it's released on GOG, whatever the price.
I pledge to permenantly delete each Steam version on the same day, GOG releases their version.
I pledge to permenantly delete Steam, when all my 112 Games are on GOG.
