I'd be happy to but it will take me a little time. In order to present my

experience properly (as it contains both good and bad) I have to tell the

whole story. My wife (who lurks here) tells me that my posts are too boring

already and that I need to prune them down for general consumption. LOL.

Can't do that with Dr. Mercola. I've seen so much said about him here on NN

and wanted to chime in but just didn't have the time to do justice to the

story and explain myself so that it would be fair to him. I'll get to it as

soon as I can.

[Ron] I'd be happy to but it will take me a little time. In order to present my

experience properly (as it contains both good and bad) I have to tell the

whole story. My wife (who lurks here) tells me that my posts are too boring

already and that I need to prune them down for general consumption. LOL.

Can't do that with Dr. Mercola. I've seen so much said about him here on NN

and wanted to chime in but just didn't have the time to do justice to the

story and explain myself so that it would be fair to him. I'll get to it as

soon as I can.

[MAP] Hello Ron, your posts are very interesting and I'm a firm (read:

wild-eyed, militaristic) believer in LONGER IS BETTER. It's all about

content; we are liberated from the stifling, arbitrary, painful

limitations of print media! Don't limit your expression based on

speculation about your audience's attention span! Let the content

flow! To each their own usage of texts given an informational ecology

with radical latitude in signification and organizability, only

possible through textual surplus!

Err on the side of excess!

Support long texts!

There's a lot more I'd like to say about this topic...

There's an important point hidden beneath the superficial irony. The optimal

length of a non-literary text is " exactly as long as it needs to be, " and it

takes time, effort, and skill to achieve this. In some cases, more detailed

may be better, and clearer is always better, but all else being equal,

longer is always worse. Time is the dearest of nonrenewable resources, so

giving your readers the information they want as quickly as you know how is

a simple matter of courtesy.

LOL.

I hear you and I'll continue on in my standard form. And thanks for the

support.

So what did you think of that, ?

Funny, those are exactly the words I raised in my defense when my wife told

me my posts were too detailed and diverged from the topic at hand too much.

Having gone back and re-read a couple of my old posts I will plead guilty to

them being a little bit too long, but in general I found that they were

pretty much as long as they needed to be in order to make my argument or

convey my point.
