Yeah... realistically, if a post consists of a huge chunk of text and I'm not intimately interested in what the person says, I just Page Down. I am far more likely to read if it's broken up into coherent paragraphs though.
The one that really gets my goat is people pasting in huge articles in the middle of a thread. Who is going to read a 2000 word essay that the poster himself just copied and pasted? Just give us a reader's digest and put the link there so people can click through if they are interested in gory details.
Personally I'm guilty of this sometimes, but I always type out a whole post and then go back to the start of it and trim it down to the smallest size I possibly can.
