Are they being long winded, intelligent, or just out for the money?

What do you think of people that post paragraph upon paragraph as an answer. Are they showing how intelligent they are? Showing off? Long winded, or are they simply out to get the most money possible, if that is possible here? What is your opinion. Is it something that my lot readers need to see, or would you/we prefer a more concise post. Myself, I like concise intelligent posts. Some posts need one or two paragraphs, esp. religion ones, but I've been seeing this alot. This is not bashing anyone...I'm not trying to do that. What's your opinion?

Well, I tend to post long responses. But that's mainly because I want to make my point as clear and easy to understand as possible. Online, it's very easy to misconstrue things and fail to realize something's sarcastic. And I'm very sarcastic. Half the time, people jump on me thinking I'm being serious.
And I am prone to being a bit long-winded - I usually have a lot to say about anything and everything!

I am one of those who does tend to make long responses but that is because I want to be sure that my point of view is understood by everyone who reads the discussion and responses. LOL
Some discussions can be answered with a few lines, but others do take more than that, or at least that is what I think. I don't think we get more money for the longer discussions though, except perhaps more than for the one or two word responses. Those 1-2 worders should not get anything at all as far as I am concerned, because that is not a proper discussion. The ones that I do find most annoying are those that take up the whole page or so it seems and often they have more than the allowable number of characters too.
