There are some people that feel that a posting is not proper is not complete unless there is at least 7 paragraphs (no less than six sentences per paragraph). Now sometimes they open the posting and you know that it will take some time to read it. But sometimes they hide in an interesting posting and… bam there it is a posting that is almost as long as WAR and PEACE. So now that I got that off my chest can I lead a mob against DanceswithWords. *evilgrin*

I really enjoy DWW's posts… they are stream of conciousness… poetry… surreal ululations of alternative realities dancing listlessly into our humble and limited dimensions.
There are great secrets to be divined BETWEEN his words as well as under and on top of them.
His truths remain truthful when read forward AND when read in reverse!

There is unknowable knowledge being riffled before our undeserving 'brains' that would only make our noggins explode with starlight if we could fully grasp their significance… thank goodness we can't (think of all that noggin juice on our monitors).

We can only hope to grasp the smallest grains of his greater meanings… we can only hope that he will continue to bless us with his snake-like logic and factoidal loop d' loops.

Not even the topology of a 6th dimensional pretzel could hope to databin all the info-corridors he is leading us down… a map we could only hope with futility to ever lay pen to.

And yet he labors on, faithful that some atom of it will pass down to us and enlighten us to rise above our ant-like understanding of the universe he perceives from such a lofty multitude of angles.

He is our father-learning-mother-time-actuator and he's inviting us to come sit on his knee and listen…

You don't read DWW's posts, you experience them, like a verbal tsunami.

Wouldn't like to miss them.

I can scroll down and see how long a particular post is. Then I can ignore it or read it, depending on my mood.

I agree totally.

Sometimes I read the responses to long posts to guage interest.

DWW doesn't always reach me. More my mood, I think. I don't have the inclination to read long posts, although I write my share. But the presence of long posts doesn't annoy me. Pass on them, if you don't get snared by their errudition….

DWW's posts
reading them are poetry
if I can finish them

I can pith or I can pontificate. I also enjoy reading both, provided they either amuse me, inform me or both. (And that they approach a reasonable proximity to well-constructed grammar and punctuation.)
