Not a bad idea....I haven't seen my Grammar for awhile now...I think I will go back and revisit her Today! .......but seriously this isn't English class, folks shouldn't have to worry about Grammar....she will be in good hands!
I believe he was describing Succinct! In THREE WORDS!
I know I've been guilty of this a time or two! But sometimes I'm seeing these questions for the first time.....and there are 14 pages of comments already posted. I want to help too ( or make my smart arse comment) but who has the time to read it all. Just me! So when it happens...accept my apology now.
The term philibuster comes to mind...

Oh I know we are on internet forums because we just don't have time...
Technical writing needs to be succinct.
However, a lot of the milk and honey to be found on this forum is in the shared experiences and folksy wisdom.
One hunter could write, "scouted a 6x7 beast all summer, shot him at sundown, found him hours later," as if they were sending a telegram where you pay for each letter. Or could tell the story, as some have shared here.
Perhaps you got lost reading some of the replies in the copper bullet thread?
Almost forty years ago, I had the honor of working on a DoE project with an octegenarian consultant named Ray Moser. In the lab where we had our test system, there was an aiming servo for the big deck guns on the old battleships. It excited him, as he was on the team that designed them. It took him a half day to expound on the engineering problems that they tackled and solved, complete with missteps they encountered. I learned a lot in his volumes of talk.

I haven't read it yet skip I pull it up glance down and say wow too involved for me at this moment. And as mentioned earlier I have terrible punctuation and a very short attention span!
