Would you have answered the opposite question like this …  Q: 1.3.18  3:09 am why are you so excrutiatingly detailed  A:     why haven't you noticed all the hundreds of questions i have answered vaguely  … or is your deliberate vagueness still a topic you want to avoid?
the opposite question usually looks something like "what's with that really really long answer" and i think my answer is usually something like 'some people want me to give more details, some people want me to give less details, so as a compromise i've decided to give a medium amount of details'
