Hi folks,

So often I see, especially on this forum as opposed to another forum I frequent (though I see it there too), a person starting a post saying, "Sorry this is so long" even if it is barely more than a paragraph.

Why is this? My thinking is that if it takes you two pages to properly describe the situation you are asking for advice or help on, then by all means make sure you include all the pertinent information - even if it takes two pages. In fact, I could make a better argument for apologizing for brevity.

I'd love to understand this. Thank you in advance for anyone who could explain this too me.
