I do this for a number of reasons:
It's easier to digest - certainly for me - perhaps I have a short attention span but I have a real problem reading long posts. I have only just got round to reading your whole post that this excerpt is taken from.
Time - I really only have time to make short posts...
Selectively choosing what to answer - I may agree with the majority and I have a pet hate of "This" posts. This is illustrated when you recently asked why I was ignoring some point about imports and I answered that you were correct.
We have to be selective in choosing what to answer because there's so much anti-ACFC guff from some of you that we don't have the time. Also a lot of it is too petty to justify bothering.
PS - it was a cracking game and a great advertisement for the ASBP. Eight goals, two red cards and a noisy crowd. Should have been on television and I'm sure any neutrals there would have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I know JV - "bah humbug!".
