This was the point I was trying to make, and it got lost as I was rambling...

Now that you mention it, I hate huge posts. People should learn how to make a point in a few sentences. It is hard but it is definitely very useful. You reduce the chances of being ignored and increase the chances of relaying the point. So instead of wasting time writing huge posts it is far better to invest that time trying to make a point in a few sentences.

Personally, if the post is too big I won't read it.

(Btw, this is generally speaking, I am not targeting you.)
