My attorney - who I found under the 'no win, big fee' section of the Yellow Pages - says I have an excellent case. :|<BR/><BR/>I had another theory about long-winded posts: I think we're stuck in the essay writing groove etched in our consciousness at school. We start out with the belief that stories and theses have to have an introduction, body and conclusion. This isn't always appropriate for blogs which are often more diary-like.<BR/><BR/>To save me having to re-introduce, and erm... re-conclude topics I try to hammer it all out in one go. If you make bite size posts you have to be wary of not repeating yourself, yet make them self-contained so someone new to your ramblings can still get the gist.<BR/><BR/>In fact - while I'm at it - I'm going to file a suit against my old school.

You have to grab and regrab all the time. Books do that too.<BR/><BR/>AFSister: Trust Me :) I love saying that.<BR/><BR/>Hd_Wanderer: Agreed.Triashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512116110647902787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28575321.post-1152812508282251812006-07-14T03:11:00.000+09:302006-07-14T03:11:00.000+09:30I can't think of a better bunch of "gun toting con...I can't think of a better bunch of "gun toting conservatives" to be hoodwinked by.High Desert Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670627929200569679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28575321.post-1152808753067841282006-07-14T02:09:00.000+09:302006-07-14T02:09:00.000+09:30Not popular with conservatives?

I don't always take their advice either. It *is* easier to get stuck in if you start out with the 'little and often' approach and people are more likely to read what you write. I don't know about you, but I'm planning to sue the internet for eroding my attention span.dreamkatchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575101391371636953noreply@blogger.com
