    Depends on what it's about. I don't want to read a huge, two billion word paragraph, but on the other hand, I don't want to read a two word sentence. I'll read a long paragraph if I find it interesting, but if not, then I usually tend to skip through it, especially if I don't have much time online.

    Sure! I can read anything...as long as it's not boring. :P

    I'm an expert in reading now since I practically read a billion posts in a day in PC. XD

    I'm considered one to read pretty much every post before posting anything, I like to stay updated you know =P.
    I mean, I'd really hate to ask a question or even state something that's already been said a page ago. Plus, it is one of the many reasons I go to forums, to read, to know, and blah blah blah XD.

    and the above is something that starts with a S and ends with PAM and is a 4 letter word? Please don't do that... always contribute to the topic at hand.

    Long posts always... I don't see the point of a short post as it exposes something but really not all of it too. Even if it's a yes or not question. You can always go into why (which is the only interesting part of a yes/no question.) A long post is most likely to have more details about the topic at hand either.

    If we're talking about long paragraph/essays, then it depends on what it's about. I won't read anything regardless of length if it's like about football... x_x; If it's for example, 1000 reasons why Quagsire is cute, then sure.

    It would really have to depend on what the person is writing about, if the person was making a post just rambling on about some topic that I have no interest in, I will most likely just ignore it, but if the person is writing about a certain topic that I find very interesting, then I could easily read 2 paragraphs.

    Why did you do that? ; ;

    You know I can't read in smiley, but I can convey them fluently =P.

    But, back on topic. I see what you mean FT, and I agree with you too. I can't really read a book (much less a small pamphlet) that contains information I could care less about. But if I were to find a extremely long post about the theories of yes and no... then you will be seeing quite a few posts from me, hehe~he?

    well, i just read everybody else's posts, so i guess i'm not too bad. i read posts for the most part unless they're unreasonably long... like if i'm looking at it and i can see that it continues to a point that i would have to scroll down to, i avoid that. but most people are reasonable. and then there are some posts that you just post on, and don't really care to hear what others have to say, like on "post where you caught your latios" ya, i skipped to the end and posted.

    If it's something that really interests me, i'll read it, regardless of how long it is. On the other hand though, even if it's something boring like 'Football' (which i hate) i'll still read it, not for it's content of information, but for any grammar or punctuation mistakes... ^_^;;

    Are you talking about threads and posts? Then I'll read anything because its only fair. When I'm at Zelda forums I write 10+ page threads and severalsomething paragraph replys. I'll read what people write only because I want them to read what I write. Its only fair.

    Like everyone's saying, it certainly depends on the content. Obviously if it doesn't interest me, I probably wouldn't read it. =b

    I don't barely read, seriously. If it's something i'm really into though, like mystery? I'm so into it.

    Were you trying to make HTML codes or something? :P

    I find it as easy to read long posts and easy to read short posts.
    Well short posts are hard to ignore because it'll only take people 2-5
    seconds to read it. Long posts are hard to miss reading because..err..well they're long. XD

    Btw, who likes to read my posts? :P (don't have to answer that)

    I'll be completely honest and say that if I see a post the is unreasonably long, then I just scroll right past it. Sometimes though, as a mod, if I detect tensions forming between two or more members in a thread, I'll read those really long posts if it is made by one of those tense members just to keep up-to-date with what is going on there.

    I join forums to hear small somewhat humorous posts, not read a fuggin' rant every post...
