fond of reading long discussions? nah....

Hi missjahn.. I have read many super long discussions up to the last word. First, I look into the title, then browse the first sentences and then it goes down to the last. Sometimes, if the first sentences are interesting, I continue reading them up to the last. So I think the length of the discussion doesn't matter. Maybe your topic was interesting but not to some people here. I don't know if I can consider some of my discussions as long. But I think they just belong to the middle, not so short and not so long.

hi missjahn I will read long ones if I anm inbterested in them or its a derar friend herel I am older and am not in the text generation so I do not use y for why or kwim for know what I mean. so I am not as much of a huyrry as you young people are . Most of you are cell phone addicts so anything over two para raphs is too long phooey on that. I write whatever my topic calls for and if people do not like it go on by as I have plenty of friends.A lot of ti mes you all miss some really good discussions because you d not want t read anything over six sentences,. I think thats a bit picky ,

I am perfectly happy with either a long or short discussion. The main criterion for me is the content, so if it takes several paragraphs then I shall happily read several paragraphs and then respond. I suppose that many members are here mainly to earn, so they would prefer a shorter discussion in order to move on to another quickly.

I prefer discussions that have some meat to them, meaning they are not just simple one or two line discussions because for me those don't really constitute an actual discussion. The word discussion itself implies that there is something there to discuss and if people only write one or two lines just to be posting something to get the money, then it doesn't qualify as a discussion at all. You can often tell who is posting just to be posting for the money and not really for the participation. Then, I am a wordy person too. I like words and using words. So my discussions and responses tend to be longer. Finally, for me personally to respond to a discussion, it has to be about something I am interested in and have something to say. Also, if it would be something that I might end up feeling that the discussion may turn into an argument, then I don't post at all. I don't like to get involved in discussions that may hurt someone else's feelings either so I avoid certain topics that may be considered controversial.

I actually prefer a longer discussion as it makes it easier to do a longer length response.As the more the discussion description contains the more there is to talk about in my response.When I come across a long discussion I start reading it if I don't find it interesting after about the first five lines I stop reading but if I like the first few lines I continue reading and respond.Its the interestingness is what gets me to respond to a discussion not the length of a discussion.Though if I am tired I may not have the concentration to read a long discussion.
