I've been known to dabble in that art myself, from time to time. It's fun, but I am rather at a disadvantage, since English isn't my mother tongue. As you have undoubtably noticed by now I have tried to construct a "bricktext" paragraph in this message. I'm also experimenting with "blank streets", trying to align all the spaces. It's hard work to write and rewrite every sentence lots of times to get it right, although I've only built two "streets" through this whole message. Phew! It'd have been too much if I hadn't written two spaces after each full stop. I don't usually do that. However, this paragraph more than called for it.
