Long posts

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Do you enjoy/read long posts?

I read them, but usually don't get much from them.

It depends on the topic. I always read the long posts on the joke thread! ;) Otherwise, it depends if I care or not. I like long AIO ep reviews because it usually means that a lot of thought has been put into them, and I appreciate the insights that people have.

I'd have to agree that it depends on the content and topic if I'll read the long post. If it's an in-depth analysis of something AIO I'll read it. =P~

I skim and then I see everyones laughing at something and I have to go back and see what I missed. Its really annoying when I misread the poll question... I've been doing that alot lately...

Some times long posts are funny if the person had something worth while to say. But I've been skiping the debates between EB and Elf... I already know who I'm voting for, why should I read those!?
I never make mistakes. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.

I think long posts are great. I am not really a very good writer, so I usually don't come up with enough to say, but if and when I do, it's totally fun. :D (Ok, that didn't make an ounce of sense....) :-s

Skim Twice...

Interest me, I'll read it. Doesn't, I'll pass on.

Simple as that.

Good point Top. I usually don't read them, even though I have time!

I think it's nice to see that people are capable of writing more than four words in a response (or thread starter).......

Now Granted, we don't need everyone to be Jared-ish where a post of ONLY 10,000 words happens on his "bad" days........typical is 20,000 words.....but it is nice to see posts that show that it took a little effort to write up (which is probably why we get paid more for longer posts than we do for the shorter ones)

Peace Out
