I for one, if see paragraphs upon paragraphs that repeat same crap I will not read it. Just wondering if others do same? Keep it simple, not hard to do IMO
Large posts fall into the same category as large signatures for me. They switch me off immediately. Ive got the attention span of a goldfish!
I just ignore them, there's one thread in particular (about caging) that I don't even bother to look at anymore, even though I keep getting alerts about new posts in it.
There is an "Unwatch Thread" link at the top right of the thread, then you should stop getting those alerts.
I try to read what is posted in areas of interest, regardless of length, so that my reply responds appropriately to the discussion.
