My two cents are that very long posts are tough to respond to in a concerted fashion, and you might raise very interesting points that get ignored. But if you spreaaaaad out the goodness, then we can all have a number of tasty meals.
But if you really want to write that 3-page post, by all means, go for it!
What is your opinion?
no
LOL I like your style Leigh.
As my grad advisor said: be specific, not prolific.
I get annoyed with people who post extremely long-winded thoughts. It seems self-indulgent and narcissistic IMHO.
yes get to the point
I like shorter to the point posts, but, a good story is not dependant on length and is always worth reading.
I think I am entering an ADHD phase. Or is it that life is getting faster and faster that I cannot spend too much time on one topic?
I don't think longer posts are better. But I am one of the worst offenders, because I want to be more precise than concise. ...at least, that's my claimed excuse. I also won't go near Twitter. Guess why.
I have my moments.
I suppose it depends on how tall I'm trying to make the fence.
Also, how deep you're willing to dig the hole.
Do you know the joke about the engineers and the mathematicians? There were a couple of engineers and a couple of mathematicians trying to figure out how tall the flagpole was. They decided that they'd have to dig it up. Once they had it dug up and laying on the ground the mathematicians measured it. 21' long was their measurement. One engineer said to the other engineer, "Just like a mathematician to measure the wrong direction."
Although I am one who appreciates economy of word and likes to be succinct in my own posts, I am always interested (okay, most of the time) in what others have to say and it doesn't matter much how they have to say it. Long. Short. In between. It's all fine.
My comments get long. I probably bore the hell out of people...lol.
Yawn.
lol I'm right there with you!
Yawn? Thanks brother...lol
My attention span isn't long. So I tend to like shorter posts. Even on FB. I'm hardly on there anymore. I spend more time here, at work, or at the gym.
Long posts don't matter to me as long as what I'm reading is interesting.
