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.
I agree, many people prefer brevity and clarity in their messages. Some people believe that long texts are not always necessary to convey information. It is important to find a balance between length of text and content in order to attract the attention of readers. There are very few topics that can be read with satisfaction.
