The Offense of Excessively Long Posts

Eugene Shubert

Dear Friend,

What you lack in courtesy you make up for in zeal. I have two favors to ask of you.

1. Please don’t consider this forum as a dumping ground for stuff that you’ve written elsewhere. Try having conversations with people.

2. I see that you have your own web page. It would be helpful to us if you would link to articles instead of copying and pasting them here. You know that storage space is a monthly expense.

Welcome to the forum

Oh.... I'm sorry, I didn't see this before posting. I apologize. :)

P.S. Feel free to delete the previous victory post, I'll just make another one with the link to it on it, as advised.

As if a long post weren't bad enough, what makes it even worse is unduely long quotes. The person replying virtually repeats the whole long post. All we need is a hint! We know what he said. It isn't as easy to read on a computer screen as in a book. People give up with so much clutter. If you want people to read all you have to say, don't make lengthy discourses and repetitions.
