Good advice, but my posting was building on the topic heading, I was not purposely monopolizing or hijacking the conversation. I am a very fast reader [damn slow typist-LOL] and can scroll very quickly thru long texts, just hitting the highlights if required -- other members, I am sure, do the same. Since I was first to respond to this thread: I thought I had the luxury of going into greater detail and length as military geo-strategies can be difficult to condense, yet still retain coherency.
Still looking for size specs to prevent this from happening again, I am not wanting to make the busy website masters to have to police for silly things like posting length when I am capable of doing this myself. Thxs for responding.

I suspect a lot of people wouldn't bother. They see that huge block of text, and surf elsewhere.
I tend toward verbosity myself, so I know where you're coming from. But I think you'll find more people wiil read your posts and respond to them if they are shorter.
