Long winded topics

Does anyone else click on a topic then find it is like reading a book....so long winded and see that there is paragraph after paragraph and so on that you just get to thinking...surely you could have shortened all this stuff?

I realize people want to give a lot of information, sometimes.

But really do you have to write a book?

Is it just me that thinks people should keep the topics a little shorter?

    Agreed. Half the time I click right back out if it's too damn long.

    Same, if a post is longer than about 5 or 6 lines, I'm hitting the back button

    sometimes I write books. I try to add pretty pictures to make it easier.

    I'm naturally wordy.




    Sorry

    I don't read any posts. I just scan for hot profile pics, and hope that their profiles are public.

    Nooo you kept it short and sweet WTG..

    If everyone can keep all their `stuff ` down to a couple of paragraphs it would save me having to click the back button all the time..YAY

    I have a hard time getting through a really long post, because in the back of my head I keep hearing "damn, this is long!" Then it distracts me and I have to start all over. Especially the ones with no paragraphs or punctuation. Oy.

    A paragraph break would be nice..... and I usually don't read anything in a thread anyway...I just scroll for pics and gifs. Threads are useless without them.
