You have brought up great questions. Personally I like to think about these in terms of tips rather than rules or etiquette. Ideally you need to make posts as concise as possible. Successful probloggers normally use a mixture of short, medium and long posts. If a post is too long it can become overwhelming to the reader and often it is better to break into a series of posts. Most of my posts are too long. Most recommend short concise comments rather than long ones. One reason is long comments are less likely to be read by other commenters. I'm happy to break the tip on long comments. @Kevin Yes I posted a comment in response to you this morning on someone else's blog. I don't think you were grumpy and it was very important that we all debated the issues of post and comment lengths. LOL very long comment in response :) @Kirsti definitely looks like you’ve created new names.

I came here to comment on a comment (seen in my CoComment site) and found it wasn't even here yet. That's a strange quirk. So let me comment anyway ...

Yes You are right. I might have been grumpy with my earlier post. I love the exploration of what commenting is and so why limit our thoughts?

I find it easy to comment to a post about subjects that I'm passionate about. I know that those already in the conversation will follow it. if I were to start a new post and link it back to that original conversation there is always a risk of loosing some of the participants. I could be wrong, just my early morning ramblings. Dont you hate it when its saturday morning, none of the teenage kids came home, and you cant sleep in no matter how hard you try? Oops, another ramble. @Kevin and @Sue, if the idea of the Comment Challenge is to engage us all in conversations (and isnt that what blogging’s all about anyway?) does it really matter how long posts/comments are?
