    I will still make long posts when I deem it necessary. There is nothing wrong with doing that. Some things can't be explained properly to a newbie in a short post. People just stopped making a big deal about it so I felt more inclined to shorten my posts. I explained my nature and how giving me shit about it made longer posts more likely. People finally listened to how to work with my natural tendencies to get what they wanted. The question is how long did it take them, even with my help explaining how to get to their stated desire, to stop instilling the desire in me to make longer posts.

    Too long.

    I knew you missed the longer posts. Maybe I can accommodate you in getting in a few long ones.

    I support Three in his stance re: brevity.

    Indeed some things are best taught with lengthy tomes.

    The teacher has a style and that is not really negotiable.

    The actual 'problem' is that Three, et al is addressing

    questions for which appropriate responses, (often after

    clarification of the topic), need to be responded to, but the

    'depth' of the reply becomes a problem. This is like a physician


    who must "speak down" to their patients. Overly simplified

    responses give us little satisfaction but do not anger those who are thin-skinned

    and semi-innumerate. Not a sweet blend of character traits. L O L

    Need we remind you this board has many new players who are just starting out. A number of regulars are far from being math experts, and sometimes some of the meaning gets lost in translation. That is just a fact of life, it is not a sin you know. So how does ZMF deal with those members who are as you say " thin skinned and semi- innumerate" very simple you train them in HI OP2 Ace side count. Not exactly the right move by someone with a stubborn, and obsessed character trait. LOL

    Stubborn and obsessive is the right character make up for mastering advanced tasks.

    I was not talking about the student.

    This board has many newbies. That is true.
    My focus is on somewhat experienced players
    who want to radically improve their game.
    Those who go to their local house of iniquity
    on Friday night to have a beer and practice
    Hi-Lo can ignore me as they do. Those who
    are advanced players do not need, (but may
    want), extra training.

    In post #83 I referenced physicians.

    Doctor in Latin means "teacher."

    I have studied human physiology and anatomy.

    My spouse has several degrees up to an M.B.A.

    She understands almost nothing about how the

    human body functions. Just drivel dredged from the internet.

    'Face to face' my doctors know that I require a deep explanation

    of my diagnoses and prognoses. My spouse requires minimal information.
