I do think that the thicker and longer posts are not only much harder to read, but generally will illicit fewer replies because most people won't read all the way through. I admit that I skimmed through this one because it is very thick and long.

I know you also have a lengthy post in the relationship forum that received two replies, including my own. I do agree that you could return to your thread more. I wondered why you hadn't returned to that thread, and why you hadn't responded to my post. When I reply on someone's thread, I give it great consideration and thought while writing. I like it when the thread owner takes the time to reply, and then I will likely return to that thread and respond more.

I do not know if that's your general MO - to post threads and then not return to them much, but if that's correct across the board, then perhaps returning to your threads and replying to individual posts more frequently would help.

And I hope what I am writing is not received poorly. Just trying to be objective and give some objective thoughts.
