Rocky I have no qualms with the original post length. Its the replies that were getting to me. Some of the threads get to be 5 pages long, and from there its very hard to follow the issue unless you have a lot of time to read each post. From reading some of the replies, it looks to me like the very long responses just get skimmed over and not really read.
Everyone has something to say, its the listener or reader that has limited time.
