Long posts

which is better long posts or short posts?

my opinion is short because all the lengthy ones seem sometimes to take too long to read?

Hi

How old are you?

I like short ones better, it's easier to address one issue at a time. I always wonder when someone buries me in information, is their case so weak they couldn't suffice with a paragraph or two.

I agree, I don't like long Post either. U start reading them, and they sometimes get so involved, that it makes no sense at all.

I enjoy medium posts (I had to be different, didn't I?)

Hi JNFOC

I am not trying to be rude, I am serious and curious as to your age!

I hope Jodi Lee and Paladin see this though I give Paladin credit for making his posts shorter lately. It is better to deal with one or two points in a post rather than reply to an entire dissertation. I don't bother to read long posts anymore. I just scan them quickly and if a point doesn't grab me I will answer the first point made. There is an old saying which says that there is virtue in brevity.

Exactly! Those who bury people in information are just convoluting the issues.

The problem with that approach is someone will invariably question why it is you “conveniently left out…” some reference ot other.

lol. This is so, I always figure I can add later if they want more. Its just easier for us simplier folks to keep to the topic at hand with just a few facts at a time, at least for me I'm easily overwhelmed (of course maybe it's just lazy).

This is just my opinion and my reasons for it, but post away, I just will most likely skip the longer ones.
