... as long as the article has not more than about 3-5 paragraphs. I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist.

We have plenty of news. What seems to have gone missing in online news in general is deepened analysis. So, these youngsters sure have heard of all the news - but do they really get all the information needed to really understand what they heard of?

Personally, I have never heard of a "letter to the editor" that complains about a too long article in print. This is something I first saw and now frequently see on the Internet.

Fair enough, though it's worth noting that letters to the editor are carefully selected and edited while comments usually aren't.

I bet the New Yorker gets letters complaining about the length of its articles every month, they just don't subject their readers to them.
