Certain topics are very technical and need to be explained in depth but when I read a post that is way long I either speed read or skip it entirely
Agreed! The ABCs (Accuracy, Brevity, and Clarity) of effective writing are never easy. In one of my classes, my professor had us respond 100 words or less in our discussions. It was a challenge for most.
Now I understand the accuracy brevity and clarity of your posts ,they are very well written and now I understand why

Meh
There used to be a regularly published articles section where some of these posts would fit in well. Some topics do lend themselves better to lengthy initial posts, and even follow-ups. I may have missed it but I don't think too many traditional articles are published much anymore- typically require a lot of time to produce and also review/edit by the admin team I'm sure.
Aye Sir! My 35 years with the Department of the Air Force have a lot to do with it too. At work, when we forward (e-mail) information or taskers from higher headquarters to our customers, my co-workers will dissect it nearly verbatim on what's on the attached information. "I" simply forward them with FYSA (For Your Situation Awareness) or FYI/A (For Your Information/Action). If my customers (primarily commanders) have any question(s), I am a phone call away for clarification or make myself available for a face-to-face meeting.

This explains your short and to the point answers, and without all the sugar coating and bs. LOL

Hey, I agree totally about the "to the point" posts. However, just read a thread about the 6-284, in it AZShooter made a lengthy post, but every bit of it was on point and a direct answer to the OP question. So skip reading or learn to read faster. There are a bunch of threads/posters on here that I read just because.

Phone call? Face to face? People dont know what that is anymore
People now text each other from one room or office away.
We all have different writing styles and ways of synthesizing information.

Sad but true! When I was an exercise evaluator, one of the scenarios I came out with was all communications are out, including cell phones. Most units failed miserably. I also like to get out of my office, so I make the meeting in person an available option.Phone call? Face to face? People dont know what that is anymore
