Yes – being perceptive is a wonderful thing (as another thread says) but i also think being BRIEF is wonderful. Most of the time when I see loooooooooooooooooong posts, i skip them (sometimes,if i have time and patience and it’s a topic i’m really interested in, then i will read them). Sorry – don’t mean to offend anyone, besides i’m sure i’m guilty of long posts too. So my new plan is, if i have a lot to say, i’ll just write a lot of short posts.
I second that. I’m not good in reading English.
You make a good case for being brief. You are not in the briefcase business, are you?? I can use a new one.
You can help by paragraphing often. I won’t read a paragraph if it has more than like 8 lines.

To be brief is nice. I prefer to be boxer however.
Very true. A point is often brought out better when it is concise and to the point. A language-to-language dictionary has one word where an English-to-English dictionary would need a sentence, and it is a better explanation of the word’s usage.
However, this cannot always be done. For example, my fly-hurting thread has a huge OP, but I couldn’t brake it up. What you can do, is to break it into paragraphs.
thats correct,
in fact i have learned that people will read your emails and messages if you keep them short to the point and separate the sentences.
gefen: Really?!? (btw, what difference does it make what language I speak?)
gefen, I completely understand, and I’m sorry if some of my posts are too long. I did try to condense the Perceptive one (It originally was an 8 page essay), but it probably could have been shortened even more. Thanks for telling me. I’ll be more careful in the future to have shorter posts.
gefen, I appreciate that, but I understand I did recently have some long posts, so I would like to view your post as pertaining to me so I can work on it, even if it wasn’t directed specifically at me.
gefen
I don’t mind anyone getting personal. I wish I knew myself.
Anyways, you got me wrong. I just meant that speaking and writing are two different things…
Middle Path – I hope you will take that as a compliment but I have been wanting to read that post and can’t find the time at work. Paragraphs would have helped. But I will NOT give up, and I have no doubt that it will have been worth it in the end!
I cant stand those. the only posts I read that are more than 2 lines long are the ones that everyone talks about after. lol then I go back and read it!!!
adorable, you should have left out the “lol”. Then your post would have fit onto 2 lines. 🙂
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In MP’s defense (not that anyone is attacking him) he did give a warning that his post was long. I think in general, it’s okay for a post to be long, but as long as it’s interesting and engaging, it won’t feel like it’s really long.
MP’s essays may be lengthy but always a good and thought provoking read keep em coming!
Thanks so much, Goq. I will G-d willing. But I will try to make them more reader-friendly.
Thanks QB, but as you said, no one was really attacking me. Gefen was simply making a general suggestion (which I agree with), and I was just implementing it for myself.
Syag, your’e right, I should have split it into more paragraphs! But hope you can read it at some point, whenever you have the chance.
What? Everyone here already clean the lint out of their belly button?
BT whats that got to do.
s/ts i post long but thats just cuz i have a hard time saying things in condensed form. but personally i try to read longs ones more than short ones cuz those are more interesting IMHO
as opposed to being boxer?
