teflon mike and the posts of doom,

[hmmmnz]

no offence mike,
but does anyone ever read his page long posts??
i really want to as he seems to have put so much effort in, but i really can't be fucked, is it just me or do most people just skip them over??

again im not getting at you mike, im sure the content in your posts is good... well i can't be sure but i'll assume so

I read some of them, maybe 1 or 2 in every 10.

I get IRRITATED by little stuff, like the fact that every now and again a WORD is written IN CAPITALS.

However I am pretty amazed that anybodies head can contain so much knowledge.

He's not Keith though. (or stinkwheel)

Also, like Mr Hmmmmnz says, I'm not getting at you either Mike, if the post is about anything useful to me I tend to read it and it is usually pretty good. Just very long.

Yeah, depends if A) im really bored and B) I'm interested

E.g. something about dirt bikes I didn't read, but i did read something about speed, oh and cleaning chains

Although, would be a bit better if just cut them down a little bit!

[Darth]

I usually end up reading the first few lines/paragraph whatever until i notice it trails off way, way down the page somewhere at which point i end up just skipping it.

[DrDonnyBrago]

Depends on the thread, if it is something I am interested in I may take the time to read it all, normally I get a few paragraphs in before realising it is going to be a long one then scroll to the end.

[Ichy]

It must be my upbringing because I thought I posting something very similar to you Hmmmnz but just couldn't bring myself to do it. At best I might do a quick scan but the posts are way too long and rambles too much for me to take interest.

The problem is that the guy obviously means well and does have some good info, he just needs to condense it down a bit for us users with the attention span of a spaniel. Maybe not double spacing might help.

[Tim..]

[Tonka]

I described one of his posts as piffle (pointless waffle)

The problem with them, as I see it, is that there is good stuff but it's so well hidden with general overstatement and unnecessary detail that it gets lost, which is a real shame, as the guy is really helpful and clearly very knowledgeable. I guess it's all down to personal style

Like all things, concise and to the point always wins the day!

[0ddball]

As i've said outright in a couple of threads, way too 'try hard' for my liking.

[Paxovasa]

I feel he has something to say and it can be helpful (most of the times), but it gets that well hidden by the rest of the post, that I feel it gets lost in all the other information.

I prefer to just get my point across and not to go off on a tangent. As you can appear to lose all credibility and especially when you start to use caps lock to get the point across.

Anyhoo enough of my ramblins, back to posting crap

I find them quite entertaining and informative.

The guy's great to have around I reckon. Helpful bloke.

Yes his posts are a bit on the long side, but it makes me chuckle when I enter a thread to read things to the effect of 'ffs Tef don't your hands hurt' or whatever it was I read the other week.

Decent bloke and if it's relevant to my interests I'll always read the whole post.

Cheers,
Steve.

[pa_broon74]

I think theres a fine line between being helpful and being overly helpful. If you cross it, it can seem as if you're lecturing and thats never really good (unless you are a lecturer with a willing class.)

Of course the easiest way to make sure you don't do this is a method by which I swear: I don't actually know anything.

Essentially, I think Mike occupies the last point before officially being on the 'bit-of-a-git-ometer'.

[FURBAR]

I've had a few pms with him, he's sound .. and i read more of his posts than at first ... a new asset to the forum IMO, takes some workload of the knowlegable regulars ...

Hopefully this thread will see him condense it down a bit / lot more ...

Once
I
TRIED
to
read
one
of
them
but
I
found
the
formatting
FAR
too
much
like
a
friend
used
to
type
on
msn
messenger
where
he
pressed
the
enter
key
instead
of
the
space
key
after
every
word
and
never
used
any
punctuation
I
THINK
he
did
this
so
that
you
despite
the
fact
he
was
a
slow
typer
you
never
got
chance
to
get
a
word
in
and
stop
him
mid
sentence
or
make
his
sentence
irrelevant
before
he
had
finished
typing
it
I
KNOW
mike's
aren't
this
bad
but
hopefully
after
getting
this
far
into
reading
something
formatted
like
this
and
seeing
what
i
had
to
put
up
with
for
years
you
might
understand
why
i
never
make
it
through
more
than
the
first
few
lines
of
one
of
mikes
posts
