I thought it was just me. Anything with more than 50 words I figure isn’t worth reading.

There’s plenty of things with more than 50 words that deserve reading. Literature, history, your tax return and the information that comes with prescription medicines.
No I don’t reread the information on current medications but I do on new ones. I like grapefruit and it renders some medications ineffective.
(49 words!)

It's not just the long posts; it's the one huge paragraph posts that makes me click to the next article. I agree, though, that some people give too much unnecessary information.

You miss the whole point. I have been known to make the odd too long post. But the intention is one of these -
People then shouldn't want to ask, nor would people need to ask, but most importantly I don't want to be bothered with followup to anybody.

For you short and sweet guys, I bet you don’t want your doctor doing the same. You ask him how your checkup went and he sums it up in three words; “You’re gonna die!”

My dentist didn’t have to say a word. He’d be looking around in there and if he shook his head, you knew it was going to be expensive.

Maybe that meant you had no problems. No income for him. A big smile on his face would indicate lots of problems.
