Long posts, pro or con?

If it is way too long then i skim through and look for something interesting about it..why did i come to this discussion anyway?? and Does it ask a question?..Those kind of questions get me then to answer the person..If it seems to drag on and nothing makes sense, then i just like it or leave it.. If short i prefer them too and usually gets an answer from me..

When I see a long post I skim it before I decide if I want to read all of it. If the topic looks interesting I read it. It also depends on the way that the post was written. I am more likely to read a long post if it has been divided into paragraphs.

I confess if a post is waay long, I will likely just scan.. Unless, of course it is highly interesting and very captivating.. Or it is a really good piece of humor.. But usually, I prefer shorter posts. These days I may forget the beginning before I get to the end..

Yes long posts can bore me but it really depends on the topic. Sometimes I write long discussions too when I can't shorten them.

There is plenty of fish in the ocean. You can go for the smaller fish and get the same recognition. There are many who like long posts and I am like you I prefer short ones.

@Boonie1 It happen sometimes . Presenting a topic in short & simple depends upon the depth of it . Selection is our Option in short ..

I prefer short ones

From what I have seen here short posts seem to be the norm.. People tend to gloss over the short posts also I feel. I love writing medium size posts.. but on mylot I keep mine short to make things easy.

I don't mind reading long post if the topic interests me. If it's boring and badly written, however, I'll often just close a post and move on.

@Boonie1 I much prefer short posts as I don't have enough time to read long ones.
