least effective method

if i come across a post that requires numerous paragraphs and expounds the most minute details of a relationship, i immediately dispose of that post and move to another. does anyone else do this or do you actually read through the entire thing?

Like anything else in life...if we care, we pay attention - if not, we don't. Simple.

true.
i'm all for giving advice if i can help someone but, i have to say, i'm also a big fan of getting to the point.

hell yeah, to that.

depends alot on the topic... *i appreciate both...*as long as they are interesting or informative in some way.

It depends...sometimes the posts do become a little long winded.

But like everyone said it depends on how interesting the topic and how interesting the response.

I can't stand long-winded posts..just summarise! simplify simplify simplify..
