No.
The reason is that at times the person will just ramble on and on even though they actually already answered the question with their first sentence. It seems they just want to keep on driving the point home. They usually are beating a dead horse. Maybe they are just addicted to typing and are expressing or sharing the addiction with everyone else on Yahoo. I have noticed it myself. I like to read the short answers, but most of all I like to read the funny or sarcastic answers. That would exclude the rude ones however. Then again, some of the questions are so stupid you can't help but slam the person to the ground with a smart azz answer. I am sure you have felt the same way at one point or another. Some answers are stupid too but it is harder to address those because they get lost with all the other answers. :)

Length has less to do with it than being concise.
Occasionally, when people actually know what they're talking about, and have good grammar and writing skills (rare on Yahoo Answers), then their answers can be very interesting.
But people who just spout a bunch of facts and opinions, not laid out in any logical fashion do not make good answers. You can usually tell from the question, or from the first couple lines of the answer whether it's going to be a waste of time to read or not.
(btw this is not a long answer... its only like 60 words, anyone who thinks that is long, is illiterate)

Depends , if I am interested in the question the long answer is based on . I also read all answers to my own questions. On a side note I am more bothered by long questions and tend to ignore those.

If it quite is basically data extra desirable than the asker is soliciting for then no i does no longer examine it... yet whilst it quite is a few thing i'm fascinated and that i'm in a competent temper then i might examine, or if the guy is giving motives to how the respond grew to develop into the respond then yea i might examine it... it relatively relies upon on how long that long answer is.

It depends on the answer. If you start reading it and stop because it is boring or irrelevant, it's a reflection on the answer. Alternatively, if you see a long slab of text and just ignore it straight away because it is long, I guess that's more of a reflection on you.

God, no! They take up half the page so you lose the thread. Especially those long religious ones full of quotes.
I admire their perseverance but I prefer short and to the point (with a bit of humour too). Just like me in fact.

As son as I realise it's probably a "cut and paste" job, I just stop reading it.
There should be a maximum size of answer allowed , to stop the religious nutters in particular.

If the question interests me from the start then I will read the majority of it otherwise no! I will just skim through most of it instead!!

No, nor do I read really long questions - I have a very short attention span.

I'll read the first few lines then lose interest and scroll down to end. Less is more, as they say.
