Question: are long posts acceptable?

On a few forums that I leave long posts - especially those that dispute what lures should be used and why IMO lures are attacked in the first place, some snide remarks as to the length of the post are posted. I've noticed many good long posts on crappie.com and read every word regardless of agreement or disagreement. But I've also noticed that the wise ***** don't post much or anything when it comes to catching fish and posting about rods and reels or other equipment used doesn't interest me.

Is less better?

I thought if you were from the South there are no short conversations. Can't say up north.

My advise would be do as you please. I tend to believe that someone could be helped by your lengthy post. If what you are saying interests me then I will read every word. If it doesn't I am still happy that you took the time to share your experiences

I agree with Jack. I have a scroll wheel on the mouse if it doesn't interest me.

I like this forum due to the civil nature, other forums sometime not so much.

I say post what you want. Anyone posting a snide comment is most likely a 40-year-old adolescent and posting from their mom's basement.

When I see a post that several paragraphs, I'm probably not going to read it unless I'm really interested in the topic. But I'm just gonna close the post and move on. I don't feel the need to comment about it. If the post is too long, don't read it. Seems simple but some of these keyboard warriors don't have anything better to do.

Agreed! Post away and have fun…

Sometimes it’s hard to decide which details need to be told and which ones aren’t that important.
I try to stay as brief as possible, but sometimes get carried away with content.
I say post away !

Post away! I'm not a big reader and if it's longer that I want to read I'll skim thru it or skip it which is not your problem.

It's not your fault I/We have a short attention span and lose track of .......................................... rotfl

I say do what you want and post what you want. Folks here will read it... or not. The things I learned here I've used, and sometimes I've thought I had a better way. Usually, I don't try to convince anyone my way is better. I don't take it personally if we don't agree.

Thanks guys!
I go into detail mostly to cover all bases when it come to why fish strike lures which is opposite what many believe. Hunger or attacking a lure to eat it does not cover all the bases, though I can't say for certain those reasons are real some of the time. But having made and used lures for most of my life, has proven to me that the reasons fish bite lures are, 1. strictly sense-related on top of 2. specific lure qualities that tick fish off.

This is what I want to share in detail with anyone considering a change of view when chosing lures. My many photo examples prove what I say, hoping it will rub off on some that may yet consider how these ideas will help catch more fish. The study of lures, other than catching fish, are my passion discovering new things on almost every outing which is exciting and satisfying.

This is where I'm coming from.

Thanks for reading. LOL

I never understood why someone would complain about the length of someone else’s thread. Other than they want others to be as miserable as they. Long speeches before a meal……that’s different.

Nothing wrong with long posts. Use punctuation and paragraphs to make it easier to read.

My friend, this is why when I write there is Gold in Your Ramblings, you have to work sometimes Mining that Gold for our benefit and use.

The blog section is a perfect place for long, intricate posts. Breaking down ideas into sections is easier for some to read and assimilate. Easier to respond to specific sections also. As far as snide comments, they may just be a way to refocus a conversation. Not all are meant as attacks.

Spoonminnow, you tha man dog. Type away. I need something to do.
Don't forget to include pictures. Love some of those baits you've made.
I've adopted you "L" wire and weed guard using craft wire. does just fine.
Start your post with,"once upon a time." :biggrin

LLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNGGGG post. See others of us do so as well. Fish and post on!

My opinion is to post what you like and say what you have to say. I know the abuse you speak of. It’s been directed at me because I said something that someone didn’t agree with or like. There’s some people that don’t say a word face to face but speak volumes when they’re enjoying anonymity. I do t participate in a few sites that aren’t moderated and the folks that sit at the cool kids table run wild. I’m comfortable here and enjoy my second family.

OK,
Once upon a time there was a lure that fish go berserk hitting for reasons few give a hoot about....blah, blah, blah, blah. LOL:biggrin


Thanks for the support Jay and glad you used the grub grip wire idea. (Note: A thinner wire is needed for 1/32 and 1/64 oz jigs.)

Again, a candle and some lure parts are all you need to make great lures that surpass many sold. You're welcome to try any of my mods. You won't be sorry!!!! Beside, what else you got to do when it's raining?

I like a good read. I say post away friend!
