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.
It can be so confusing sometimes before you finish reading the article, you may even forget what the article is all about. Despite the fact most long articles contains details information of what the writer is talking about but it should be precise and direct then if the reader ask for more emphasis then you can explain more to them on what they want to know about your article, my own opinion though
