I like concise. There are times where verbose works well, but many times it’s overdone as someone is repeating themselves to hammer home a point.

When I go looking for one of their posts, I enter the blog name into WordPress Reader as they don’t truncate posts or limit how many posts show up / page.

10,000 words? I’ll give up reading a third of the way. Only lawyers write a long winded brief. Why they call it brief, I have no clue since they are always too long. Someone told me they were originally paid by the number of words they wrote. Someone also advised me when I started writing to be brief, concise and to the point. I try to stick to that rule.

I agree. I rarely make such long posts.
