As to the "it's too long" refrain. I appreciate the feedback, but disagree with the premise. I'm not targeting these columns to the message board short-attention-span-theatre crowd. I'm writing semi-weekly essays for people less concerned with how long it might take them to read a piece than what if anything they might take from it. I have no problem being critiqued for the substance, I've just never understood the motivation behind someone taking the time to make his/her only comment that the piece exceeds some arbitrary length they've alotted to reading it.
With that ... here's to slapping Jacksonville upside the head on Sunday. |
wow, just take the constructive critisism, man... I could say the same thing you did in about half the time. There's not an arbitrary length, just that there's a bit of filler in there that actually takes away from your point. I think most everyone said they liked what you were saying, but not everyone has time to read a copy of Chesapeake in between tasks at work!
