NO, don't modify the text before it goes into the database filling it with html tags. Leave it exactly as they typed it. Only format it with the replace() when displaying it in html. It will show up exactly as it was in a textarea. If you do it like you're saying, all of the text will run together when you display it in a textarea and all the carriage returns would be lost on the first update since all of your line breaks get replaced with a space.

I usually use another replace() when outputting to an edit form. Something like: Replace(string,"<br>"," ","ALL") It seems to work well.
