Far too many answers go on and on, particularly those with a religious bent. You know, if I want to read the Bible I'll check it out myself.
Anyway, it drives me nuts. I know I don't have to read all the answers, but it's good to get other points of view, if only some answerers would be a little more economical with words.

Scroll a lot.
Some questions are very deep and heavy, and require lengthly answers in order to present a well researched answer that may have to counter a great deal of prejudice and historical revisionism.
My experience is that most people are too lazy to click on provided links.

I am not as often you need freedom of speech to get your point across. Different questions deserve and need dofferent answers. The only point of forcing shorter answers is people like you can answer more questions in shorter time with the hope that people who used more space stop getting most of the "best answers. That will not work. I rarely use a 1 to 5 word answer as you can't answer most questions that way. and all questions deserve a best answer. I think the reason you wish to shorten the answers is that Christians can't take the heat:):). get out of the kitchen.
Like you say just ignore the ones you don't like.
People get lazy wiht spelling on line and I am the world';s worst at times. The first itme I got on here all I could hear was from guys who thought they were spelling cops.
Now it's people who want to get posts deleted for their own personal reasons, people who want to rewrite yahoo rules for their own personal reasons ect. leave a good thing alone.

Some questions require a long answer - if the length was limited it would be boring because you would have to edit your words down - myself - I wouldn't bother and I am sure a lot of other people wouldn't either - then nobody would answer anything......

Yeah, it gets on my nerves too which is why I just scroll down (which can take a while in some cases) until I'm beyond their endless paragraphs. If yahoo starts putting a limit on how much we can write what will they start to limit after that?

Relax man, I just skip over those. Even if I asked the question. I have no patience for those who ramble. The answer couldn't have been that great anyway, if they can't get their point across in a reasonable amount of sentences.

One simple solution: Bypass the long answers and read the more short to the point ones, and vote for them.
