You should see the IRC stats of the channels i'm in, my average length of line stat is always 15+ words above anyone. If something is 'important' enough for me to reply to I feel it may as well be done properly rather than try and condense it into 15 words, guess its probally due to the length of time i've modded the suggestions forum where you cant really just say to people "thats shit" you need to jusify it which means a long post is normally needed
