When you read blogs, do you skip the long-winded posts?
Even the people I love the most are skipped if I see that their post in a blog requires scrolling.
Even if the comments are addressed to me, I skip the post if i see that it requires scrolling.
Do some of you really have a lot to say or are you simply impressed with yourself? Or are you unable to examine your writing somewhat and get to the point without wasting my time.
Affectionately,
Kranky.

Nope. I read it all. I don't like missing things.
Like JFK ... I read fast ... covering a lot of ground quickly ... and I remember at least 14% of what I see ... Kinky Kong ...

"Suspendisse viverra?"
Everybody knows that except in cases of ex tedium hoc it should read "suspendissum vivandi."

It all comes down to time, interest, relevance, articulation, personality and patience. I admire Pipliners who entice me to delve into their psyche, who have a certain expertees, who have a good grasp of creative writing and probably know how to inject a little humour to their prose - I do draw the line at Latin but admit that those guys certainly knew how to sum things up economically so the odd quid pro quo doesn't go amiss.
Have to admit however that I rarely open up videos, although I concede that a vid will eliminate the need for a 1000 words on occasion.

....LOL :-) at many of the above posts - I've read them all.
I try and read all blog posts but sometimes I'm short of time here and quickly 'speed read' them but will stop and read properly if something said particularly catches my attention.
Why write 500 words when 5 will do.
Anjuli's posts are invariably loooong but they there always nuggets of gold in them making them worth the extra effort reading.

Being an arrogant egoistic troublemaker, I always read every single word of my own posts!!

I'll keep it short and simple for you....
either you have attention deficit disorder...or you are lazy....or you are just simply too dumb to understand what you are reading,sorry if this comes across as a bit rude but i think it's incredibly rude to ignore a post addressed to ones self especially as you have moved someone enough to reply to you in the first instance...it seems pretty disingenuous........
Btw, i realise this may not be scroll proof as it's more than one paragraph....

Indoors, you seem kinda hostile. I think you need to get out more.
Anyway, thanks. I'd much rather be shot down in five seconds (especially when I deserve it!) than bored by some RUDE person who thinks I've got all day to spend on the Pipeline.

Dear Kranky,
you wrote....
"Even the people I love the most are skipped if I see that their post in a blog requires scrolling.
Even if the comments are addressed to me, I skip the post if i see that it requires scrolling."
I am not being hostile to you in anyway or for that matter,rude, merely commenting on the tenet of your initial post,in my opinion what you originally posted was rude...
if you post something and someone responds,it's usually good manners to read it through and not scroll down and ignore it because it's an in depth reply and someone has taken the time to respond to what you said...most people can speed read,can't they ?...also if you've got enough time to be on here and blogging in the first place, it strikes me that you'd have time to read at least something that related to you ? why post anything or respond to anything if you haven't got time ? you are on here scrolling ,so you must have time ?!.....I rest my case........
with love and best wishes from The Great Indoors
btw: i make no assumption on the time you have to spend on the Pipeline only that it seems you have plenty of time to get vexed enough to be spending time on the Pipeline......

Laree, there are a bunch of hilarious phrases in your post, too many to post...did you write them all?? Non sequiters and random prose can be quite effective :)

Sounds like an old Dylan song! But the answer to Kranky's question is I read every word of every post that interests me.

Larree,
that has to be James Joyce & Finnegans Wake...doesn't it ?...or am i way wide of the mark ?
...pretty fine bit of prose either way....

Larree (lol)! In all honesty sometimes I skim read if I am trying to read everyone's posts. It is not because I am not interested, it is simply a time issue. I try not to ramble. If I write a paragraph it is because I have something (hopefully relevant) to offer. I am good for typos & improper spelling usage though. I don't tend to proofread my blogs for some reason. I hope you have a less Kranky day! :-)

LyinDan where did the latin come from. I am afraid I was fed a lot of Latin when I went to school in Italy, but I don't remember any of it!! I guess it wasn't my favorite subject. Now I regret that I forget...

Laree I believe that's a quote from Finnigan's Wake by James Joyce.
I don't know for sure, because it was long book and I didn't finish it. (Involved turning pages :-)
