Question Posted Friday December 21 2007, 7:03 pm

do you think that an answer to question has to be long because mine are nice and short. i do this so that the person getting the advie can quickly read it and decide wither or not to follow it
anyways ive had lots of good comments (more tan 40 with a rating of like 4.7) and feedback on my advice but then i got someone saying that my advice was not thoughtfull eneough
what do you think? do you think answers need to be super long or short? why?

Answers should be long enough to answer their question. No longer or shorter.

It depends on the question. If they just want to know a song title (or anything else easily googled,
a short answer is best.

If its someone with a real problem then it is always nice if someone takes the time to give them a really well thought out answer. If someone is in genuine need of help, I don't think they mind longer answers. I have rarely gave a SUPER long answer,
but I can ramble on given the right subject. :)

it depends on the answer your giving, and the topic.
if someone is asking a simple question, and you can explain the point without writing a whole essay, go for it.
but some questions require more details, even if its the same amount of thought, it just depends on the question.
