My Dear 'OZ'ians,

I have a question about the formatting of my posts. I use "fully justified" text which means that both the left and right side of each line is perfectly lined up. I have been told that Left aligned is better for the web. See below for examples:

 

Fully justified: This is an example of fully justified text. As you can see the text is lined up on the left and right hand sides of the page. Sometimes when justified text is used there may be rivers of white (black in the case of 'OZ'. Sometimes, that me and the s[paces between the words is not always the same and changes depending upon the number of words that can fit on the line. This is an example of fully justified text.

Left aligned: This is an example of left aligned text. As you can see the right side of the text is irregular and just the left hand side is justified. This means the space between the words is even but it doesn't stretch the text out to fill the line the way Justified does. This way is apparently easier to read. I personally prefer fully justified.This is an example of left aligned text. As you can see the right side of the text is irregular and just the left hand side is justified.

Which do you prefer? Which is easier/harder to read? Apparently The Wizard is in the minority here.
