Hey now, I hear some serious sarcasm in there. 

Go ahead and experiment. But trust your audience as to whether they can
read it or even bother to try. Reading text onscreen is more intensive
than on the page. Making it vertical doesn't make it any easier.

Well, thanks. It's an experiment. Don't know if I'd recommend it to
anyone, though. There are a number of limitations in that format.
