Long Posts In World News

I must say, gents-

We are doing ourselves great credit with all these short posts.

I'm tempted to forego punctuation in a misguided effort at conciseness.

That smiley was probably gratuitous, huh?

Opinions?

Ah!

So that is what some of our fellow contributers are doing.

I feel ashamed that I thought ill of their ability to remember the simplest of grammatical rules.

As a rule J2, I prefer punctuation and as you are one of the few that actually seem to bother I vote you continue to swim against the tide.

As to length of posts, content is the key. A well written long piece is far more enjoyable to read than a badly written short piece (and takes less time).

Thanks, Biggles-I believe I will, as it suits me, I think.

Your last is so exactly on point that I will continue to silently assent to it after I have selected "Add Reply".
