Looks correct to me, Tore.

Regarding line breaks, I prefer to use them to separate different thoughts or replies that don't belong in the same "paragraph", for lack of a better word. When reading, it's easier to distinguish between blocks of main ideas that way and gives a sense that there's a transitional breath being taken between them, as you would in actual speaking.
Using line breaks after every sentence, however, seems excessive to me unless it's like only two sentences with an intended sense of space and pause between them.

Ultimately, I view line breaks as... breaks. It helps multiple ideas have their own space and allows for a more structured flow of paragraphs. The problem is that a lot of people don't use it to that advantage, so it just becomes pointless spaces.
