Super Long Posts

Does anyone really read them? I get bored after two paragraphs. Anyone else feel the same?

I read this one, why wouldn’t I read someone else’s?

And, once in a while, “one-liners” can be rather obtuse and confusing to the reader….. their meaning and intent can remain unclear. Sometimes one person’s analogy can be another’s nonsensical statement. ?

Explain that!

Many have already said it. If I'm a paragraph in and it's interesting, I'll read on. If not, I move my thumb upwards across my screen. Very ideal approach in my opinion.
I also know of many people who smoke that much. I smoke 3-6 times a day and there are cats who would smoke me under the floor. As a great book once explained, "live and let live".

Like others, if the post is of interest to me, I'll read it. What about those very long reviews on Tobacco Reviews. There are some reviews that look more like a book then a review.

It's not the length of a post but what you do with it (anon)

If I'm interested, I'll read 'til the end. If I'm reading a really long post and there's no paragraph breaks and everything just runs together, I usually move on.

If I'm interested in what someone is sharing, I'll read it.

The champ for long has to be a 17 page post, in the form of a rant complete with graphs, that was posted by a former member here who shall not be named. The attraction of a disintegrating mind wears thin really fast.

@sablebrush52 : I think I remember that one. Almost as good as our resident crazy from Hezbollah with the BIC lighters and the expensive pipes from somewhere in the Middle East.

What about posts that are made every few hours regarding a blend and pipe that is being smoked. Then, off to work...who smokes that much? Not naming names...

A lot of people smoke that much. As for jiminks, the man is a legend, literally. Just look him up at Tobacco Reviews.

Oh yeah, THAT guy! We thought he used an alias to post with a completely different voice as well. This forum has hosted some pretty strange birds.

TLDR.

I had to Google this. I'm old.

Please show us on the doll where the long post hurt you...

It depends on how well they’re written & if I’m interested in the topic

I believe this has been answered in every which way.

Closing, before wee barbs turn into spears.
