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.

What's your openion? You can classify them any way you want. I classify them as more than 2 paragraphs.

In general, I love them. Although I guess it depends if the topic interests me or not.

Like Top said, it depends on the subject matter of the post. :-k

Like Top and Trent have said it depends on the topic. If it is something that interests me I will read it.

Most of the time I will at least read parts of long posts but not always. It depends on the subject and who it is done by. Whoa that was a long post my fingers are getting tired.

I really enjoy a good long post, if, and only if, it is readable. Spelling mistakes and poor grammar get on my nerves, as do posts which start nowhere and stay there. Some people make long posts just to earn money, it seems, and it becomes apparent in their writing. If the same idea is repeated multiple times, you can bet it's just for cash. To get cash, some people will repeat their idea multiple times. People will, for cash, repeat the same idea multiple times. This annoys me. By this, I am annoyed.

Ok, I think you get the point :D

You two are slightly confused. J-man is talking about long posts in general. and AM is talking about Jared.


Chexfan, that was quite clever^_^
