Long posts in threads

I have noticed that there are some very long posts creeping into the forums. Nothing wrong with that let me hasten to add, but I just can't be bothered to read something going on about the same thing line after line

Re: Long posts in threads

Depends who has written them, I read if it's someone who hasn't copy and pasted reams of facts, I read if it's something personal someone is explaining, one poster I can no longer read because no matter what he says all I hear in my head is blah blah blah as he goes on and on and on

Re: Long posts in threads

Forgive me for mentioning this realspeed but some of your posts have been very long ones too, so it´s somewhat unfair to say that other posts are too long don´t you think?

Re: Long posts in threads

Yes hands up Clumsy I am guilty of doing that as well. What is interesting to the poster may well be boring to the reader

Re: Long posts in threads

I don't read long posts. Can't be bothered to search for the point someone is making or trying to make. After years of being a member here and on other forums I have found that long post posters don't last too long. They miraculously vanish within a few months.
Probably because they are cheesed off with the rest of us not agreeing with them.
Do I care?

Re: Long posts in threads

I don't mind long posts as long as they're interesting to Me,but My eyes glaze over at the ones which bang on about the same thing over and over.

Re: Long posts in threads

Suprisingly Mr Ploppy this time I agree with you.

Just noticed I have been a member here for over a year.

Re: Long posts in threads

Ahh thanks, realspeed, it doesn't happen every day that someone agrees with me.
