Meta-comment: You're right, and it's a weakness I've observed in my own posts for years now. There are other commentators that often come into HN threads I post in, and make my point better+more succinctly than I could have. I wish I could replicate/learn from those examples better. I think it's less of a redditism and my own overly-loquatious style/attempting to avoid misunderstanding through verboseness. The feedback is really appreciated.
- s-shellfish 8y agoIt's a life long habit to unlearn, because you have to balance the skill set. When you are intending to speak to an audience, I think it matters to know your audience, which gets complicated, when the audience is constantly shifting. Cheers!
