Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do post more words?

I mean, that’s the question in the room, innit? That’s the elephant on everyone’s lips that nobody’s asking. If you can’t answer that, don’ you go rounnin’ roun to re ro, as our British cousins might say.

I only read posts that have a two sentence maximum. The OP’s post is over the limit and I am angry at having to read an extra 50%. Please include a three word maximum summary for your post for the awesome people out there like me whose lives are so busy and awesome that we cannot take the time to slow down and read all these silly words.

TL,DR: OP TL,DR.

Well, if your time is soooooooo valuable, what the fuck are you doing here?

If I see a tl;dr after anything here, it makes me want to put the poster in the douchebag box.

**nikoni** , you lost me after the term “maximum summary.” Please be more concise next time, such as making your point in the first 10 words.

TLDR: IDGAF.

Wouldn’t you need to use your thumb for the spacebar and period?

Props to **guizot.** Lol, which hardly ever happens.
