This thread is inspired by a thread in M&A about long posts. Many of my replies are pretty damn long, and the question they answer has come up a few times now. Here's a few links to to the more interesting ones, and please post your own. I know that in the techy bits of Zoklet there's been some interesting posts. I'm looking at you, Virus and Nereth... :D
