[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 683378, member: 11791"] I was catching up from a day away from the board. 50+ messages. (that used to be 200+) Some were short, some were long. I made an interesting observation about messages. A short message usually contains a single point of discussion. I can like it, find it friendly, respond to it. A long message that contains a single point of discussion is the same in that regard. And sometimes, especially if we are relating experience(s), it won't be short. But a single point of discussion is useful. Long messages more often contain multiple points of discussion. Sometimes, short ones do too. These are harder to digest. It also is difficult to flag them even if I agree with some points, because on a multi-point message, I will really agree with one or two points, and totally disagree with something else. It's got me thinking a little about my own posts. How can I keep the contents to a single topic? The Keep It Simple Silly method. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
