I have no time or, to be honest, patience, to read excessively long posts. I work for a living, I have a family and I go to school, in addition to other demands on my time. I skip Host's posts, by and large.

To be frank, very long posts are largely inappropriate and are not read, I'd be willing to bet, by the majority of people. And if they are not being read, then the writer needs to step back and consider how better to get his PoV across. Writing a ton does not make one more intelligent or influential - it actually makes one less influential if few read the posts. Even the posts that are just a step above trolling that are regularly regurgitated by some have more influence on this board than the biblical-length sagas, for at least the short posts are read.
