I agree that it's the verbosity that I find intimidating more than the BDers posting. It's funny, but back when I still visited Books frequently, the words "Letters" or "Canonicity" or "HoME" (among others) were my signs to click on the Back button right away. Nah, Lhuna, don't even try.
When I do find an interesting topic, I tend to stumble on it too late, in which either all my ideas have been said, or I've taken too much time reading the posts that by the time I see the Reply button, I've forgotten what I was to say, and then become too lazy to gather my thoughts again.
So much to read, so little time. Sigh. Short, sweet, yet altogether very though-provoking threads are such a relief when they appear.
