Sorry, I sincerely wanted to comment but..........

That's true! Good Spacing is highly appreciated!

I do not think I have missed a single post of yours as they are short and filled with substance.

@allknowing Aww, thank you. I'm sure I've missed several of yours due to the fact that it's now my bedtime and hubs is calling (he is getting on my nerves), but I love yours, too, for the same reasons.

@DianneN Just move with the flow and if you find mine in that flow that is all what i expect from you,.

With a very long post what I tend to do is open it in a new tab...and open my response in another. That way I can skip between the discussion and what I'm writing quite easily. Paragraphs are my main thing as, if used correctly, they differentiate between points of discussion so I write my response accordingly. Then maybe rewrite a bit after reading the entirety of the discussion.

@Mike197602 Sometimes what they really want to say is found at the tail end and that is what makes me stop going any further.

@allknowing Why? I read more or less every single discussion on here but respond to few. When I've been off for a day or two I scroll back and still read everything. If you ignore the long discussions you could well be missing out. Some on here put serious time and effort into their discussions.

I do read and continue reading if there is some substance in those long posts. Many a time a lot of what is not needed is added in there.

It is interesting to see there are some who enjoy long posts. If I want to read something then I search the Net for what I am interested in.

@crossbones27 Yes. I get you.

@allknowing I do not mind long posts. I imagine if you wrte them interesting enough, people do not even notice how long they are. Maybe! lol

There are posts that beat about the bush. If they are to the point I do not mind.

@valmnz But all do not agree with that principle.

@allknowing but even if they are to the point, this is not the place for long posts.

That is how it should be. Some read a link and talk about it as though they own that info. Yes. produce a link in support. Fair enough.

@pgntwo That is what a discussion is all about Good one

@allknowing And I like pointers to other items that can lead to further discussion...

This is a place for us to relax and enjoy the interaction. We all have choices. Some enjoy long posts . More power to them Talking about posts in general what i really do not enjoy are those posts are different from their titles.

Most of those I interact with never write posts that are too short and those who do that are mostly newbies in my opinion.

@allknowing True.

There are short sentence posts too that have no substance and I move on too (lol)

@diosabella They pick ideas from some link. They may as well post the link

@allknowing Me too. It depends if we like the subject or not. Sometimes its truly meaningless.

We do not have to read what we do not like to read. Full Stop (lol)

@allknowing Yes, a great advice compressed in a sentence, lol

@allknowing It can be worse when the post covers several subjects because it is difficult to decide which to comment on.

@Asylum I have seen that happening

That happens invariably with long posts - a waste of time if you have nothing to say

When I used to read novels I always skipped descriptions (lol)

The fact that those who have said here that they do not like long posts and yet go to yours means your posts are not that long (lol)

This is a site where we come to relax and so short and sweet should be the order of the day

To the point posts, though long do attract readers.

@TheHorse Same here. Long posts do not attract me It is not the question of impatience but not having time.

@allknowing Not me. Unless it's a really engaging writer, I Prefer posts that are short and to the point. Maybe I have adult ADD.

If you are lucky then the post will match the topic but it is not always that way.

@allknowing that's true :)
