I just read through more of the comments and would like to add a point to the "discussion" regarding long comments. I am fairly new here, so I tend to read articles much, much, more than I post. I never knew long comments were frowned upon. Seeing as how they do take up so much space, I can understand the point being made against them. As a newer Steemian though, I would like to add that I have learned a lot from comments alone. Steem.it is a very complex platform and there's not a good guide that explains everything. It's more of a learn as you go process and some of the longer comments have taught me quite a bit. In the future though, I will keep my comments shorter, simply because the amount of wasted space they take up :)
