I personally don't think it's good to post very short comments or yes/no type answers. Like you, I try to elaborate on my comments. Of course, like you say, longish answers aren't always required, but it's just nice to read more than just one sentence, because it can provide a window into our fellow members' thought processes and personalities. Whether it's wrong or right, I feel like people who make a habit of posting short answers don't really care, just want to rack up points or are just plain lazy.
I guess I got in the habit of posting reasonably long responses because of ChatAbout and the various forums I've worked on over the years. 1 rule that almost always cuts across the board is 'no short answers'.
