I hear ya on the long speech part. I have a very short attention span and have become really good at speed reading now, lol! There's sooooo many great posts and info shared by members here at 12160 that it's hard to keep up with and read all of them, so short and sweet posts are easier to digest for me.

I also wanted to let you know that I appreciate your original posts too. I should start doing the same on occassion because I definetely have my opinions, don't we all! Plus, it's a great way to become better at writing, by just doing it! I've only attempted it a couple times thus far and need to get back to doing it.

Thanks for spurring me on friend.

Just keep saying what you think, or cut and paste it's all good.

lol...thanks man...I hate long speeches and it's really disenheartening to start reading a really good post/article and after a paragraph or two scrolling down far enough to realize that there are 7-10 (or more) screen lengths of reading to really get the point of the WHOLE article.

Original material really isn't that hard-- good thing too because when it really comes right down to it, I suck at research :( I know how to do it, it's just that quite often I don't have the time and patience for it :/

I skim as much as I can until I find something interesting...then (hopefully I have time to) read the whole thing....then comment on it. Some of those comments become blog posts. Sadly, my job at the search engine company is over :( At the time I had the entire Internet in front of me and a good couple of hours a day to screw around on company time ;) As long as I got my workload done and my productivity was up to snuff, they never bothered me :)

I digress....original material isn't rocket sience...just have an opinion on something and think about what you want to write before you write it. As long as your position makes sense, and isn't more "sheeple" or "troll" material, it will be good :) As time passes, more opinions will follow ;) As she sits, I have an opinion on everything from tying my shoes to nuclear physics....maybe not an inteligent one, but an opinion ;)

Thanks a lot for this. Your posts are usually short sweet and too the point but best of all, ORIGINAL material. Mad respect for that bro.
