Incredibly long reply poll...

I read every last word, if someone’s gone to all that trouble to write such a repost then the least I can do is take the time to read it. I admire people who can write succinct and diminutive answers to posts, I wish I had that ability, I really do, but I don’t, believe me I’ve tried, but every time I would read back the four lonely words I had written and wonder if I someone would misunderstand their meaning, so I have to add another four words to clarify the previous four. Now I have eight words that possible add more confusion than I originally intended, so I need another eight to further explain those. And while I was writing those sixteen words another salient point popped into my head that I really just had to write down and share with you all and before I know it those words have spilt from the keyboard onto the screen. Yet as I read those words that I have just typed I realise that the two points probably weren’t that well connected in the first place so I have to write a bridging sentence to link them together. By now I’ve reached the point where I’m pretty sure that the person whose post I am replying to has given up reading due to the lamentable ten-second attention span that is so predominate in this modern world and I am readily confident that I can slip in a well place insult of that persons intelligence without fear of retribution because I know the poor muppet will never read it. This I can do with confidence because I have been getting away with on various forums for the past ten years without the need for flame-proof underwear and will probably continue to do so. Of course, the final step in producing the reply is to read it back and remove anything that is Yes are overrated rubbish possible contentious that I may have accidentally typed in a fit of piqué while being distracted by a passing crow. The final final stage is to append a suitably inappropriate smiley at the end of the post to ensure that should anyone bother to real every last word of my post they will see that it was written in good humour because, after all, emoticons are so darn cute...
