I try to give long replies, but my only thing about saying we need to give long replies is that sometimes it's better to be somewhat short. I'm not saying a sentence, but I've also seen some replies which go on and on, saying something that could have been said in a sentence, but instead used two paragraphs.

There's nothing wrong with explaining things.

I.e:

Short version: I suggest you talk to a relative about this for support.

Longer version: I suggest you talk to a relative about this. Is there anyone close you can talk to? I can understand it would be difficult to approach but once you talk about it I'm sure you would feel much better within yourself and that saying kind of comes into a play; "A problem shared is a problem halved". Of course, talking may not get rid of the problem completely but it's a start and you would benefit if you had someone you can talk to. They may be a bit shocked at first and may not know how to help, but if you give them time they may come around and you will be able to lean on them for support.

See much difference? I'd prefer the second version in my inbox because if I was feeling unsure or worried about talking to a relative, being reassured it's the best idea is comforting. Personal opinion. =)

However saying that repeating the same thing isn't cool and should be avoided when possible.

Btw I'm not saying I'm the best support leader out there with the best advice, heck no, that was just a quick example. Hehe

Some of those long replies are crap tho. It's just rambling to look good.
