Hi Mylotters! Do still read and post response to a very long discussion? Me, I don't I find boring and I loss interest on it. But, if that discussion really has a catchy content like every sentence is substantial and very interesting then I'll take time to read and eventually respond to it. How about you guys? Do you take time to read long discussions or just pass out on it? thanks for your time! Happy posting!!

A long discussion sometimes mean there are people who take their time and effort to write down clearly what they want to know and find out.usually, i will respond to these discussions with everything i know.that is,if the discussion is valid and attention grabbing.i do take my time to read long discussions as i believe it tells a complex story.i do hope people will create a clearer discussion to facilitate postings.cheers!

yes i do read long post as long as it deserves to be read.Some long post are beautifully done by writers with tallents in writing,and reading theirs gives me more information and knowledge.but if some long post are just a repetition of words,i just get the idea and finish it in a second (lol).

Normally I will choose to pass that out. Too lengthy will be time consuming. I prefer to read straightforward discussion. Easy to understand and pleasurable to reply.

Hello there! I read any interesting topic no matter how long it would be. Most of the interesting discussions are those that are relatively long. I have read some discussions that are detailed and they are really good. It's easier to respond to certain discussions when the details you may need to come up with a good response is already provided by the author.

I can usually tell if a long discussion is worth it or not after the first couple of sentences. If the author is engaging and the length of the discussion is essential to make a point, then I actually prefer the discussion to some of the "shallower" ones.
