Does anyone else have AZ Adult ADD?

[highpeaksdrifter]

I can’t read long posts especially when all the words are in one big paragraph. I good example would be someone describing mogul skiing technique, I want to read it, but I have to make myself.

Two guys who are notoriously wordy are Oil and AHM. These 2 always have something interesting to say whether I agree with them or not, so I usually read them. Other long posts I’ll scan and if I pick up on a key sentence I want to know about I’ll go back and read the whole thing.

What? I can't focus on what you are saying?




:wink:





No, I am adept at the skill of "skimming" as well.

Funny, earlier today I read a post by one of the Wordy Rapping Hoods that you mention and I thought to myself, " I wish he would shorten his posts so that I can finish reading them" I won't say which

Edit: Let's get one thing straight, it's not them, it's me!

funny thing is, for all the wordy posts i make, i skim a lot. it depends if i am into the topic or not. if i don't care much about the topic, i will usually skim to see if an interesting hyjack occurs.

for topics i am interested in reading, i generally read every word... though i have a hard time following single paragraph threads that go on for more than a dozen lines or so. i try to arrange my own legnthy posts to be appropriately separated thoughts with paragraphs.

I also have trouble reading long one paragraph posts too. I'll skim the best I can unless it's someting I'm really interested in, then I'll spend the time to read it through.

I do appreciate when folks take the time to split their long winded posts into seperate paragraphs like Steve said and does.

That's stupid. I definitely don't have adult AD-

Hey, Cheez-It's. Mmm... man I love these things.

Too many words, didn't read.

Depends on the topic. I'll read a big long block of text if I'm interested in it, but I do appreciate well-placed hard breaks.

The thing that gives me an eye twitch is when people quote someone's quote of a quote of a quote of a quote. Just quote the last bit of the quote, not the whole string of quotes. We read all those already. Greg's bandwidth will thank you.

You'll notice that the forum software automatically strips out the earlier quotes now. :beer:

Dammit, now I have to figure out a new reason for this annoying tic...

Yup. The infamous "quote pyramid" is no longer. Now multi-quote is the best we can do...

Well, you could manually still do it...

To be honest I usually just check the recent discussion, I can usually tell if there has been a new post in thread that I am interested in.

An exception would be post by either River or AHM as if one posts or starts a thread you can rest assured that the other will be chiming in. :wink: I also check Marc's post as they usually bring a chuckle...:lol:
