And it shows, your posts are without exception fluent and well reasoned.

Yup, I know what you mean. Especially if it's technical.

If I'm writing a paper, I tend to write a draft, leave it alone for a

different sections independently, or the whole thing takes me ages! When 
trying to get a reasoned point right I sometimes spend hours on less 
than a hundred words. :)
