The possible reasons for and benefits of short posts are too numerous to even be a credible group judgement issue, except when they're by bonafied spammers. So the question then becomes, who is a bonafied spammer? Is the true answer: everyone? Are short posts annoying to a degree relative to your own position on the spaminess ladder? I know that a few aren't on the ladder at all, but these cases can be discounted as they are obviously not bonafied.
wait..
that's me!
I just talked myself right out of the discussion!!
I knew I'd find a way out of this.
