I reply long because a lot of the time where I end up making my money is replies. People don't have near as much interest in the things I say. So if I am to do well here it is usually by replying to other people.
I am totally fine with this. I simply needed to learn the ropes and find out what my niche is. :)
@chaospoet does pretty well but I try not to over post with him or I'll kill his goose that lays the golden eggs.
