A different thing are conversation back and forths: each comment is in a new branch of the comment tree.

    If you find yourself typing a long comment that might have contradictions or presents several options, you should consider shortening it so that it only contains the most important point. Save the rest for follow up conversations. This makes a better conversation for several reasons besides voting.

        Yes exactly. If anyone cares enough about the subject they’ll ask you to tell more.

        It’s a waste of your own time to type out everything you know in advance if no one cares or everyone already knows.

          Fair enough. I can see how I could save myself time and effort. However, I’ve read many long comments in the past that are very interesting. And, considering the 90-9-1 rule, I suppose this happens to other people too.
