I'm disappointed in your response. It's well over the line of what feels appropriate to me.


I don't think anyone would even care a bit if he learned the art of brevity but it's an endless stream of meandering 500 word screeds that visually take up a lot of space.


Because words on a computer screen is such a precious resource.


That's the same argument used by spam apologists.


You've confused the meaning of spam with opinions I don't agree with.


Readers' attention is a precious resource. The repurposing of the term "signal to noise ratio" to apply to mailing lists and forums is a reflection of that.


Once again, read my parent post. I found his post a good read so that's one bit of anecdotal evidence right there already. Something tells me you don't fully understand 'signal to noise ratio' either.
