i don't know about the rest of you, but i don't have that long of an attention span so excessively (dare i say "outrageiously") long posts tend to be a jumble of words to me.

on and on and on and on and on and on
some write more than is needed to answer a question
Less is more just get to the point

Nothing wrong with my attention span, but my ability to suffer fools gladly is a bit short.

Status: offline 		*rofl* yeah, level, what's with all this sat word bs? you're SO freaking condescending sometimes :P *hugs*

i tend to post longwinded-ish posts when i'm not sure what i'm trying to say is coming across properly and i get rambly. or it's really late at night and i'm tired. so, you know, apologies for that :) but yeah, i've noticed some people who post realllllly long wordy posts for (seemingly) no reason as well. i tend to skim those or skip altogether.

Status: offline 		Ten paragraphs as a limit ? OK. I am not being sarcastic here, it's not a rule, but if that's what the crowd wants, I have no problem with it.

It is about 2200 hours eastern time here Sunday, henceforth I will make my posts shorter, with the following exceptions.

Politics.

Religion.

Commerce.

Oh shit, that's everything !

OK, let's put it this way, I understand what you mean. I know someone on another forum waaaaay worse than me, sometimes I just back out and say "I'll read this some other time".

I know you guys were talking about me, I'm not paranoid. And I know you guys were talking about me. I am not paranoid, WHAT WAS THAT !. Oh, a fly landed on the outside of my window screen.

I admit I get longwinded, I'll keep an eye on that. I write to be read, doesn't everyone ?

(BTW, I just did it again a few minutes ago in another thread, but that was the past) T
