[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 683307, member: 4152"] I don't mind long posts, but I do admit, I primarily mean this when it is on a thread that I started. If it is a long post on someone else's thread, I will often just peruse it. The exception might be if the original poster has a similar concern as myself. I like the idea of self monitoring. Probably not ideal to have lots of long posts, because it would create ultra long threads and I know myself and likely others might end up finding a lot of this tedious. Generally speaking, I think if someone has a lot of good information and/ or experience and /or has put a lot of thought into a particular topic, a long post now and then is perfectly fine and appropriate. It's hard because especially for us old timers (on board or with older Difficult Child) we've seen a lot of these posts or have experienced similar things and might have a lot of potential good input. Again, one has to give each situation some thought. ;) [/QUOTE]
