Length of discussions

I prefer something that has depth.

bubblews had that 'policy' of making a 300-word post, that is why many just copy and paste their posts over and over again

Difficult to say. Sometimes I prefer long posts if I feel I want to understand what the person is attempting to get across. If too many points are covered or they go off in twenty directions at once that tells me something about the person posting but I often prefer they wouldn't. I do like short posts too if the person responds and might even develop the topic further in the comment section. The short posts that I find I'm disappointed with are "the world is ending tomorrow" then they leave the post or only respond to comments left with "thank you friend". Those are good for entertainment value.

it's better to skip a long post if you don't want to read it, or you don't understand it, than leave a response that shows you actually didn't read it. i think just make sure to break long posts into manageable paragraphs. on the other hand, some posts are too short that the only answer is yes, no, i agree, i disagree. no discussion can develop.

I read long posts when the first few lines make me decide that it is interesting to read. I skip the one line posts, there is nothing to comment there.

I read almost all of the discussions posted here, wether it is long or short.

One or two line posts tends to be empty. Personally I write the length I feel.

@sprite1950 Snowdrop66, it depends on my mood whether I want to take time to read a long one or if prefer a short one. If the topic is interesting I will read the whole thing.

I hate long discussion, go straight to the point

I feel lazy to read long post.If I don't want to read the discussions,I will not comment to those.The length of your discussion is good to me.

@sprite1950 I like discussions that are short discussions.They don't consume time to read .Responding to them is easy.

I'm kind of lazy reading long posts so most of the time I only read those short discussions but if the topics are interested to read I'm gonna read it.

I think sites like this are inherently geared to shorter posts. Just the nature of these kinds of sites. Even Bubblews was like that. A couple of paragraphs at most seems to do the best. Having tooled around here I see MOST people are doing VERY short posts, and so I am just, for now, following suit.

Mine should be medium to cover all what one need to write

I look at the topic and if it is interesting to me then long or short I will read and respond.

I skip long discussions.

I don't usuallly pay much attention to be honest. focus on the interaction.

I tend to skip one line posts. I will read long ones....but if they just ramble on, I move on without finishing.

I would like to read something I can understand, not caring about its length. There are many kinds of readings. If the article is too difficute, I would not remember what it is talking about.

It's depends on a topic of my interest ,then I don't have any problems in reading long posts..
