Does anyone else think..........And don't bite my head off?

it's only a question! That some peoples's answers are just entirely too long? I've answered long but not near as long as some people that take about 1/4 page?

    Yeah, some peoples answers are very long, a lot of mine are, but, when someone asks a question and I'm giving an answer, I like to be informative and give as much information as I possibly can. While some people may not want to read through a long response, the person asking the question probably wants as much information as they can get, and, I've actually had a lot of people thank me for taking the time to be so detailed in my answers. So, while you may think some people are writing a lot, keep in mind, its not meant to make you or the entire population happy, its meant to give the person who asked the question as much information as I possibly can.

    I think writing style is often reflective of conversational style. Some people are long winded, others like short sharp sentences. I'm guessing you don't read long books, either. Short attention span? I'm not biting your head off. I personally appreciate longer answers (see?) because it means someone has really thought about a question.

    GUILTY!! very sorry, skip the long answers if they bother you. Some of us try to articulate our feelings, that takes some kind of explanation... otherwise our answers would seem curt.

    Some people are just wordy. It happens when they talk and when they type. Other people really have a lot to say.

    Don't ask questions and you won't get answers. Short enough?

  • yep, but some people are just verbal maniacs, they have a lot to say.
