<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3304647, member: 19463"]I believe that overly long posts attract fewer readers than they might deserve. I have had better luck breaking things into smaller pieces. You can provide links for further research by those interested but most people here will only read long posts if it is a subject on which they had prior interest. Part of this may be that some readers are using phones that make long posts tedious. There is also the matter of your post containing more than I even knew about a subject and more than I might want now. In this case, I would be more interested in Ekbatana under the Parthians than the Seleucids since my interest in Seleucids is not great. I don't know enough in this case to have a meaningful comment. I fear we are now in the Twitter generation. If you can say it in a few well crafted lines, you have a better chance of being read and appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
