Originally posted by m8o lol, you're taking it and whatever you felt you needed to convey way too seriously.
It means it's extremely long. It implies the question "who has time to read that much?" I'd have read it but don't have time to read that much during working hours, which'll still be about another 6 for me tonight; so maybe this weekend. I have only a few seconds to maybe a few dozen seconds to allow for reading any one post. So if you're "all about respecting time" consider that.
But no matter. I'll stay away from ya. Yes, this is a largely friendly forum and the last thing I expect was you to not realize it should be taken as "dude lol, who has time to read a thesis like that?" So with what I see of you from the follow-up before I stopped reading, l8r.

You know, I constantly see posts like this one where people claim that their internet time is so valuable that they cannot, no they
WILL NOT read any post over a few sentences in length..
My response to that attitude is that it is absolute, utter BULLS**T!!!!..
If you did not take the time to read my original posting on this thread, then why in the hell did you bother responding to it in any fashion at all??..
I will repeat what I said in my rebuttal to your first post directed at me..It was, and is, a deliberate attempt to mock me for what I now know (due to this second post of yours towards me) is contempt for anyone that chooses to post a lengthy response in a thread..
If you are reading posts here at PF while you are working, and if you
CHOOSE not to read any post over a few sentences in length; well I am totally cool with that..That is certainly your choice, and you are entitled to do as you choose..
I ask this question again, "If you are not going to contribute something positive to the thread, then why choose to comment at all??"..Just pass over any thread that is too long for you to consider reading while at work, and return to read it at a later time when you feel less hurried..Why do you, and so many others, feel compelled to mock people that do not conform to your ideas of proper internet behavior??..
As I see things, deliberately posting provocative, mocking posts to another member's post is no different than deliberately picking a verbal fight in a face-to-face conversation..Both are wrong, and should not be condoned..
And, I completely fail to see where a long post by any member on a thread here can in
ANY way be construed as disrespectful..As you have suggested that mine was to you..
