AIBU to think that posts need to have a word limit?

I am finding very long OPs hard to engage with.

I long for brevity - bullet points even in both OP and replies. AIBU?

Agree with this.

If only that were true (that everyone has read the OP)!

I find that useful sometimes as the thread gets derailed and it's a reminder of what was actually said

I agree. Back in the olden days writing a precis was part of the O level English language exam. I used to hate doing precis writing, but it has paid dividends when I got a job where I had to condense sales copy to fit the maximum character count.
