As long as necessary.

I would have to say that I am never quite verbose in any answer that I have ever posted on this forum that has been dedicated to those seeking and those found; I am never one to leave such prolix answers in any case even involving such questions in need of a lengthy response. My answers are always refined and simple, and any complexity heretofore examined by any reader is only an ill perception of the actual simplicity implicitly expressed via linguistical construction not necessarily in need of an analytical deconstruction. In the case that any answer deters from the information pertaining to the aforementioned idea of telling a life story, it would suffice to say that I do not divulge any personal subject relating to my pet frog, sister's children, Jesus as our Lord and Savior, or any revelatory information thus inferring that I have a need to express my life via forum. Therefore, the interpretation of any answer ever given by the writer of this answer is completely subjective and any active, objective analysis in terms of denotations of words and phrases or by means of applying rules or laws will only lead one to believe that this has turned into a hypocritical attempt at self-justification with no other reason than that of professing in a lengthy manner that my answers are simple... in which this is not the case.

Depends on the question. If it's a bad question, I give a bad answer (i mean a really short one, like something completely unrelated ) or no answer. If the question is reasonable, i might be able to spare a few words. If it is a good question, (e.g. not bad philosophy, something I know about, or somthing I fell strongly about), I can go on as long as you like. I once talked continuously for 45 minutes on the same subject, before they all left me to it and went home. I hadn't finished yet! However, if you can keep the teachers interested, its a good way to pass the time...

Depending on the question, it might be anywhere from two words, if it's in Polls and Surveys, to a long paragraph, if it's in Philosophy. I'd like to think I say just enought to make my point and get out of there. Like I'm doing now.

direct, but with a little commentary.
The 30 paragraph answers really bug me, or answers that don't actually address the question, but offer unsolicited advice. But of course, i've done that too... ;D
(this is a typical answer for me)

I try to limit my answers to three short paragraphs (5 lines each) unless the person requests an in depth approach...
yeah, i'm a babbler.

No-one reads anything more than about 3-4 lines long - and I hate people who cut and paste vast swathes of copy from Wikipedia and post it.

My answers are consistently longer than the question, but they are usually more informative, too. My specialty is helping new writers so I often list the most important writing books they should read.

Hell, I tend to ramble, to say what I think and to tell it all, as much as I can, in as little space as I can.
