I missed these, but without stealing the thread, I'll clarify a little. I know what it is for me and what it's all about. I know what my intentions are, and the value of my own effort. I know that the way I formulate posts stands out for the length, and that people will have a range of reactions to it. But the only person who ever knows why I do it, is me. I don't hold other people to that understanding, will never be mad at someone for cracking little jokes or saying "Sorry, this is too much for me to read." If it was all about being taken seriously, I'd be much more concise. And I typically am when I *really* have an important point to make. Every time I am long-winded, I knowingly take a chance on not being heard. It's a fully willing compromise, so being angry isn't really part of the whole equation. I accept the limitations of long form writing styles.
probably it should be 146.3s instead 46?
