I write long posts and I read them, but I am a natural born reader. I am like Hunter Princess, a long paragraph doesn't take me much time to read and it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Of course, if the post is about something I'm not interested in I'll just skim over it and then move on, but usually I read everything. I'm the kind of person who 8 times out of 10 will read every post in a thread before replying even though the thread goes on for pages.
