Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation, it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality which is wrong.
I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from them.
This also sometimes happen to me as make post with much words without considering the readers. The funniest thing is that I myself most times fine it difficult to read post with much words. Like OP has said, it's better to be small with quality rather than quantity.
