Let's say there is a discussion you want to respond to, but you have only few words to say (maybe about 1 line...) but it do answers the whole discussion. Do you add some more words to write/make/have quality posts?
Example, you are only about to say:
Banana is much healthier because it do contain lots of minerals and vitamins...
Would you add some more words like adding "Thanks for your response, I do appreciate it. I hope we could discuss more about this one... Blah Blah Blah..." even though you have already said your thought just to make it a Quality Post?

I rarely answer discussions that can be responded to in just a few words; but on the rare occasions that I do, sure, sometimes I'll try to add a little more.. even if it's slightly irrelevant. 
. I know this is wrong, but I always feel bad about only typing a sentence or two! It feels like I'm not trying hard enough! Although we seem to have MANY MANY MANY yes-or-no type discussions that don't require further discussion; and so sometimes it's hard to find words to fill up the empty space in those scenarios.

Hi there maezee.
I do agree with what you have said. Sometimes, I do add other text even though the main point of my response is already stated though sometimes I add a little more even though it is like being repeated or being redundant. xD
I agree also with that yes-or-no discussion line of yours. Well definitely, this discussion that I started is one of those many yes-or-no discussions but I am thankful and happy because you guys do add some more text on your answer. xD
By the way, thanks for your response and thanks also for dropping by.

You mean do I BS? Yes sometimes, but most of the time I'm sincere. Even if I only have a sentence to say about the actual post I'll ask them how they are, or how their family is if I've read discussions about it and participated in those. I could have made this response a one liner by saying "No I add more" but I clarified. Clarification is another key to making a discussion's response longer and with more quality... after all we're asked to "please be as descriptive as possible".

What do you mean with BS? Sorry if I don't know this term. xD
Anyways, I do agree with that. I do clarify some post of mine so that it would be basically clear but still, I concise each of them to make them easier to understand.
But, I do also add some bush hitting words. (Like below...) xD
By the way, thanks for your response and thanks also for dropping by.
