In journalism, we were taught pyramidal organization. You should be able to cut the article at any paragraph and preserve the overall meaning of the article. This style was developed so that editors could cut articles to fit the size of the available column. I'd say that the same function exists now on the Internet except that it is now to fit the TIME available.

I have to say that WHO posts an article determines how much of it I will read. If you posted a three page article Karen, I would assume you had a logical reason for doing so, and I would slog through it. People who are not quite so logical frequently post long articles, which, experience has taught me, often have no point. And of course you are also a woman, so I would have to read your article and be polite about it just because of that. Kiss kiss
