Whenever I write a long comment here I just know most of the people lose interest after the first paragraph. And it's because that's what I do when I try to tackle a long comment.
I have the feeling that they think I am a jackass, or douchebag, writing a bunch of mangled together crap of a response/rant because it's usually the most controversial comments that provoke such a response from me. And the response usually doesn't make much sense or have a point when I read it over. It just ends up being long, repetitive, and I forget what I was talking about by the end of it.
As great as long comments are, I always get the feeling no one reads them. maybe HN could implement an "I read this commment" button.
Interestingly that's actually the only reason why I write long comment responses. It's just that after the fact, presumably no one considered the comment and that I got through to no one.
