Just so everyone knows and this is clear.... (and this post is for everyone, not directed at any one person)
.........no one has ever in the years that I have been on this forum been asked to shorten their posts.
And...no one has ever been asked to write short posts.
Write as much as you want to!
Some people on this forum...including myself!... have written many many looong posts! And everyone is completely encouraged to write posts that are as long as you want them to be.
sometimes a person needs to write a whole lot, to get out what they need to say, and that is completely encouraged here.
We welcome everyone's experiences and thoughts, no matter how long of a post that may end up being.
If you want everyone to find your posts easy to read, break them up into separate paragraphs.
If you don't want to do that, then that is absolutely fine.
It certainly is not a rule of any kind, just a courtesy for others to make it easier for them to read.
Some people will not be capable of reading a post if it is one big block of text without paragraphs.
